My wenzel starlight tent

If you've followed my blog from the beginning, then you know I've been searching for the right tent for my pct adventures this summer. I didn't mention it before but I've also considered using my wenzel starlight " hiker/biker" tent which I purchased several years ago for backpacking but have never gotten around to using. For the last ten years or so I've been packing with my two sons, so we've used a larger tent that fit all three of us, however this year I'm packing with a friend and want more privacy so the new tent... Anyway I was waiting for some nicer weather to set up the wenzel to see if it was a contender for this summer. We finally had a few nice days and I was able to set it up. Holy smoke! There's no way! First of all there is no ventilation, theres a screen in the front for the door and that's it. No cross ventilation at all, so even on a cool day it was like a sauna in there. Secondly it's designed poorly so it's not possible to tighten it up enough that there would be no puddling on it in a rainstorm. Thirdly it's just to small for a person my size, it was very hard to enter, especially with the tent pole in the way. It's too bad, it is very light and I already own it. So far I really like the idea of the eureka backcountry free standing tent. It's not too expensive and the free standing part would be nice, but it is heavier than the other options at 4 lbs. I think I'll go look at the eureka solotaire at the sportsman warehouse since they have it on display. If I thought it would be big enough it would have to be my first choice since its cheaper and lighter at 2.5 lb.
