the tent is very well design, light enough to carry for extended trips. the breathes excellent in most conditions, but on my six day backpacking trip on isle royale it rained the entire time and i woke up to a lot of condesation every morning. But I just use a msr packtowel and it is fine after about 15 seconds of wiping it down. I had just me inside the tent but it is one of the few tents that is an actual two person. i would reccomend getting the plus size though.

Q.}
Do I have to get my girlfriend a women's-specific backpack if her torso size fits a men's one? Do the shoulder strap position and waist belt flare really matter and do you wear a women’s-specific backpack?

No, Miguel, you don’t necessarily have to get your girlfriend a women’s specific pack. I often wear men’s or unisex packs with great success. And I know small men who have had luck with women’s packs. Forget about the gender labels and look at the pack itself, and the way it works with your girlfriend’s body shape.
