Wondering if anyone can give me feedback on this tent--pro or con? (I have read some older posts on tent threads that seem pretty positive).

My biggest question is which size to get for two people?

I'm replacing a Big Agnes Parkview 3. Loved this tent but it has given its all...

I have considered it "just right" for size--it's 90" x 80" x 48" peak height (50 sq ft). Always two people in it using Exped downmat deluxe 9 pads (26" wide I believe).

The Gemini III is smaller than my BA: 86.6" x 63" x 45.3" (37.9 sq ft)
The Gemini IV is larger: 94.5" x 86.6" x 51.2" (57 sq ft)

Since I consider my current 50 sq ft tent just right I figure I'll get the Gemini IV--just wasn't sure if its design has a lot more usable space/more vertical walls that would make it seem cavernous in there for two...

If any owners can chime in it would be much appreciated!

Ha! I guess it doesn't matter--I just got an email reply from Exped that those tents have been discontinued. Bummer!...

I would look at the discount websites for a deal on one since you should be able to get it cheaper. It should still have Exped's guarantee. Either way good luck with your new tent search.

I think I found one site that still has the IV! Haven’t tried to order yet to see if it’s legit.
