I love Snow Peak. I have some of their gear but not tents. The only reason I don’t have a tent of theirs was the standing height. Average height of a Japanese adult is shorter than American height (me) which explains why their larger tent designs still only top out around 5.5 feet or so. If they modified that I’d probably own one. Excellent quality and company. Otherwise I currently run an 8p tipi from Seek Outside for my more rustic adventures, and a Big Agnes Mad House 8 for my more “front range” car accessible adventures with groups.
