"Great all around tent" 		          01/27/10
I've really only used this for family camping in the Midwest. If I'm going into the back country a bivy or tarp work fine for me. This tent is great for the humid weather we have in the Midwest. You can roll up the rain fly on both sides so that you can stay cool in the summers, but you can roll down the rain fly quick if a storm rolls in. I you need the luxury of a tent while you are backpacking this tent is roomy and light weight.

"epic. magical. dope. these words express my love for the vista. totally badass tent!" 		          06/05/09
this tent rules, set up in less than 5 minutes, weighs virtually nothing between 2 packs and still isn't an issue when carrying alone. the fly and tent pack up in a jiff if you're on the move quick and the hub pole system works surprisingly well, make sure you keep an eye on the poles they tend to wanna get to work faster than you want 'em to, so they'll start pulling together so just keep at eye on 'em. quick set up, quicker breakdown, rock solid, keeps all the iicky out & the radness inside. mates perfectly with its footprint and hell yes to this tent and that's the bottom line because my face said so. :D

"Great tent, Awesome Custy Service from BD" 		          05/07/09
We bought this tent late last fall. We set it up once in the living room just to size it up. Then this spring we set it up in the back yard to air it out and get it ready for the season. Well after taking it down we found the stuff sack had ripped. I cannot say that it was not ripped when we bought the tent, nor can I say that we may not have done it in the limited time we have used the tent. However I contacted Joe at Black Diamond and they sent out a replacement sack immediately. I can’t wait to get out on the trail and use this tent. I just thought I would let everyone know that BD is willing to stand behind their products. I will review again after we get 5 nights in the tent.

"Lightweight, waterproof, quick an easy to set up." 		          04/08/09
On my last hiking trip we were running for the rain trying to find a camping spot quick. This thing performed flawlessly. We had maybe 5 minutes to set up, and that's exactly how fast the tent popped up. Probably less. The tent is extremely easy to set up with the fastening clips. There were slight condensation problems, but nothing out of the ordinary. Kind of wish it came with air fresheners though, cause boy were my friend's feet smelly...

"Strong...Super Light Weight...Perfect" 		          04/02/09
To say the least...this tent rocked! Just got back from a 5 dayer in Southern Illinois (Illinois isn't all corn you know...). Then tent was perfect for what we were looking for. Minimal condensation build-up even with 3 heavy breathers in 45 degree nights. VERY spacious while still lightweight. Only con...small vestibules. However, we were still able to keep all our gear inside the vestibules, just with a little stacking. The tent is extremely simple to assemble and can be done in minutes. Packs well, especially with 3 people carrying it. The doors on both sides is also extremely handy, trust me, you will appreciate it. GET IT!

"Spacious, sturdy, stays dry" 		          03/28/09
We took this tent with us backpacking for 5 days. Split between 3 people it fit in our packs easily and was extremely light for how big it is. It fit three people (heights between 5'9" and 6') and 2 dogs (30lbs and 50lbs) in it easily and the vestibules (though a little small) fit all our gear and our dogs gear. It stayed dry in the rain though a little condensation did build up when it got hot and muggy in there while we were waiting out the storm.

"Spacious, easy, love it! one con - small vestibules." 		          02/19/09
Great tent. It is large and takes up a lot of space inside your pack so be aware of that. You can negate a little of this by not rolling the poles and stakes inside the tent when sacking it. This allows you to arrange the items separately and hopefully enable you to pack a little more efficiently. That out of the way.. Set up is cake, wonderful ventilation, and nice rain fly. Do be aware of the fly problem mentioned and air the rain fly out before hand if possible.

"monstrously large tent for 2- built rock solid" 		          10/10/08
i ordered this for my wife and i so we'd be comfortable: this thing arrived huge. it takes up alot of pack space and you need room 'mongst the trees to unwind the hub'd pole system-but it sets up easy. pay attention to the reviews on bug attraction: the first day set up in my yard was like amityville horror with the flies all over it. like black diamond states, the new tent smell went away after one day set up to air out and i never had that problem again. the tent comes with everything but guy-out stakes and is very well made-this is a lifetime tent.

"Best 50 square foot three season tent on the market" 		          06/24/08
Bought this tent car camping/fly fishing. It can be set up in the dark by one person in under 10 minutes. The hub pole design is much sturdier than standard 2 pole designs and offers more interior space. Two above average size adults can sleep comfortably. Material and construction are superb. I like the simplicity of this, tent, the fact that it goes up and packs down easily and leaves time for fishing.

"I now pitch a great tent. Black Diamond Vista" 		          06/18/08
My girlfriend recently dumped me and the first thing I did was sell our tent on ebay, for obvious reasons. I got 75 which is a fraction of what she still owes me. Actually, my Sierra Designs Lookout was a nice tent but just like my relationship it started to come apart at the seams. Plus, compared to the newer models it was also a bit heavy. First thing I did was check out what my options were. I took a couple models like Big Agnes and Nemo out for a test drive but they just weren't good fits. They were either too small and I didn't fit inside or they were too heavy and I need to travel light. Then I saw the Black Diamond Vista. At first I thought it might be out of my league but the

"Lightweigt, roomy and simple, the absides could have been bigger" 		          05/28/08
Great tent! It´s lightweight and durable. I bought it mainly for the weight/space ratio witch is outstanding. When we are out in the wilds there are two adult persons, one 7month babay and a dog in there along with the equipment, and it still feels roomy! Only downside is the absides witch are a bit small, a rainy day you´ll have to drag in some of your wet equipment in the tent.
