I use the Cloudburst 2 and love it.  Plenty of room for me and my gear.  I use a small backpacking towel to wipe away any condensation that may build up.  But that dosen't occur much as the CB2 vents well enough for me!

I have one and its a great early season light weight back packing tent. I was in it in a monsoon in Colorado one year and stayed dry for the most part except where the water was flowing under the tent. Used in ID a few times in late October and it was awesome. Plenty of times in the Wa high country and was also great. I highly recomend this tent for solo early season stuff.

Yes, it has a floor. I think I paid 150.00 but it has been a few years ago.

I just checked out their website. Cool looking tents for sure and made in the ol' USA. Prices seem fair.
