I have a nice two-person Marmot tent, but would like to get something with a smaller footprint, for camping on thin slivers of Northwest beaches in potentially) cool and rainy weather! Reply: When I spent two weeks paddling in the Queen Charlottes last Sept. I used my North Face Arches. It has a screen canopy with a full-coverage fly. It is not free-standing, but that has never been a problem yet, I use deadmen on rocky ground. We had rain most nights and got pinned down by a rainy gale for two days near the beginning of the trip. I had nary a drop of water in the tent. I don't think TNF makes this model anymore, but the Canyonlands or Mountain Marathon should be similar, with the Mtn Marathon being better because of the larger vestibule.
