I've never handled them personally but they seem overly cumbersome and not easily packable. The printed catalog has lots of good pictures.

yeah, i like my north face and my mtn hardware. just might have a good deal on one if it's worth it.
Snow Peak is famous for a number of products but tents are not amongst them.
I love their stoves, lanterns, and cookware but I'll pass on their tents. I'm sticking with MSR and Black Diamond.
I wish Arc'teryx made a tent.
Also, while we're on the subject of equipment, I'd just like to say that Western Mountaineering makes the finest, most absolutely kick-ass sleeping bag I've ever used.

Chris, when bragging on a product the rules clearly state that you must provide a link to the product!

Consider Hilleberg tents, they're pricy but they're rock solid 4 season tents, my 3 person Nammaj GT sleeps about 5 if you use the vestibule in the summer and in the winter digging out the vestibule gives you a nice livingroom to sit out the storms, all at 6lbs.

The best part about getting the Snow Peak catalog was they sent it to me within 4 days of my email request. And it was huge. Almost 1" thick. That's what I call a deal.

I have no idea about their colder-rating bags. I roast in that 30 degree model.
were you wearing fleece pants and shirt? Are you normally a warm sleeper? I'm in the market for a new bag.
Well, that bag is not a Utah winter bag. It's more of a spring/fall bag but also good for summer in the mountains. Like most of them, you'll sleep like a champ at 10 degrees above the raiting but roast at 25 degrees above. I tend to get too warm and sweat, so I prefer a higher rating.
A good sleeping pad can make all the difference, too.
