I have the 13x13 Continental and I pack with llamas. It fits fine in a pannier but to save that space, I purchased a top-pack from Davis tent and awning that unzips like a suitcase and allows for real easy packing in any weather. Canvas weighs in at 22 lbs and top-packing over top of two light pannier loads works like a champ. This tent is a palace for 3 with 3 cots, stove, gear, etc. It breathes very well and does not leak-we had an incredible storm come in and pound us at 10,000 ft right after setup (we did not have the fly over it at the time)-not a drop got through. You can also string paracord inside the length of the A-frame to suspend you bows on hooks and still walk under them as it has a 9.5 fty height at the ridgeline. It also holds heat very well. The door is a one-hand operation and the guy-outs are minimal. It can be set up in under 15 minutes. I talked extensively with Jonah at Snotrekker as this was in development and I visited with Beau and helped him set up the first 13x13 prototype at his place-just happened to be there picking up a llama when it arrived. If you have stock this tent can't beat. I have been packing since 1998 with llamas and I have used a Davis tent (3-section wall tent made for llama packing) and an SO 12-man tipi. I think I have finally found the perfect tent. Not cheap but then you get what you pay for and the experiences while using this tent are priceless, and I have never been more comfortable in the back country no matter the weather that CO can throw at us!
