Not bad. We were hesitant to leave our heavier self-inflators’ at home, but found the Z-Lite quite comfortable. Being thinner without the advantage of a layer of air, we did find the cold from the ground easily migrated through the pad. Good for warmer nights, not so good for the 20F nights we've experienced so far with these pads. We look forward to spring! Overall, a good pad that definitely lightens the load.

As with any single wall, the lighthouse is good and bad. It is a nice tent with ample room for two people and gear. We spend most of our time in GSMNP which in notoriously wet and humid, and it shows with a lot of condensation inside, but we had that problem with double wall tents too. The light color keeps the interior light. At a little over 3lbs, it helps keep pack weight down. It has held up well so far, and appears sturdy for the long term. The pole set up takes some practice, but then it is quick (we stake the tent out first, and then insert the poles). In heavier rain I insert small pole, jump inside, zip up, and then assemble the two long poles. Black Diamond/Bibler: Please seam seal your tents.
