LL Bean 4-man dome. Goes up in less than 5 minutes and is big enough to allow the full sized air mattress, and my gear and me inside. Used it regularly for three years, no leaks or problems. Has that famous LLBean 100% lifetime guarantee too.

I believe it doesn't utilize shock corded poles, rather the poles lock at certain points and in my opinion was based on the principle as that of the umbrella or those folding food net (domes). The manufacturer is Khyam in UK. http://www.khyam.co.uk

craig said:Sounds like the VE25. It is *the* tent that set a new standard in mountaineering and years after its introduction is still a very popular tent. Their are a few newer tents that improve on the use of space and offer a little bit better airflow, but having an old well used VE25 is almost a badge of honor among many mountaineers. Nice tent.
