I'm 70 and going lighter and smaller is the only way I can still get out and enjoy backpacking, albeit on shorter 1-2 nights only. This shelter looks fantastic! I've only set it up once and won't be taking it on a trip until next month and I'm looking forward to going! I'm probably going to order the groundsheet as well.

Outstanding backpacking tarp system
I purchased this tarp/footprint/vestibule system for a recent 7-day High Sierra hiking trip out of Taboose Pass and into Lake Basin. It was my first trip using a tarp instead of my usual tent, and I was amazed by the performance of this tarp system. I was leery of using a tarp system but I’m sold after using this over 7 days. The tarp and vestibule kept me dry the one evening it rained and the tarp by itself provided good wind protection on the nights where it was needed. The only complaint I have is the footprint is too short for a tall (6’5”) person like myself. I had to sleep diagonally in order to ensure that my entire sleeping bag was on the footprint and not on the bare ground. Along those same lines, I was pleased that the front of the tarp could be pitched to 130 cm to give me more headroom.
Because of the quality and performance of this tarp system, I’m already thinking about which SlingFin tent I’m going to buy next.
