Why We Like The Samaya Samaya2.0 Tent
The Samaya2.0 Tent packs 4-season protection into a featherweight package so we can move fast and light all year long. The abrasion-resistant Dyneema composite on the floor and roof keeps out rain and snow, and the breathable Nanovent construction moves condensation out of our tent, so we stay dry and comfortable the whole night through. The lightweight DAC poles keep the tent standing in heavy snow and rain, and the tent packs down small for easy storage in our packs.

Excellent tent for mountaineering
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
I purchased this tent for alpine mountaineering and have used it for an 8 day climbing trip and a laid-back 6 day backpacking trip, both in the Wind River mountains. The tent is very sturdy and weather tight, easily handling 40+ mph sustained winds and rain. I love the ceiling vents. I never experienced condensation on the inner tent surface even when the front door and rear window were zipped tight. The Samaya 2.0 is spacious for me and my 65 lb. dog. Being able to remove the netting is a nice feature, especially when your dog throws up all over it. ;-) Two people would need the additional vestibule, which I purchased but have not used. My only complaint is that threading the poles through the sleeves is a bit of a hassle; but then, this is part of the secret to the tent's stability in high wind. My tent is also slightly higher on the front corners than the rear when empty but this is irrelevant when loaded with gear and humans (also, there are sliders on the front pole attachments that need to be pulled as tight as possible). You do need to take care when threading the poles to ensure that they do not damage the fabric.

Disappointing.
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I spent a good deal of time checking out reviews and comparing this tent to other 4 season lightweight tents. But when I set it up for the first time I discovered it was out of level by about 4 inches. This is the response I got from Samaya: "Dyneema fiber tends to shrink over time in proportions that are difficult for us to quantify. This value can vary from one tent to another. The phenomenon will not be a problem for use on snow. For use on hard ground, we consider the discomfort to be fairly contained. The entire Samaya team apologizes for any inconvenience caused." The first time I camped with it the short pole for the "roof" poked through the pole sleeve as I set it up. Shoddy workmanship and inferior materials. Worst of all, they don't stand behind their equipment. I regret this purchase.
