Thanks for the reply Andrew. I'll probably go for a MSR 1P Hubba
instead. Heavier than the Evolution but a free standing dome tent & MSR
make good products.Regards Eric

This is interesting as we tested this tent at BackpackGearTest.org as
I was one of the tester as was Ralph.

sent it back to Big Sky Products but I somehow doubt I will ever get
a replacement.
