I have a Tarptent Cloudburst 3. I have used it in extreme weather but have been out in a few rain showers with it with no problems. At three pounds, four ounces, it's pretty nice to carry and plenty roomy for two guys. It'll fit three but it would be snug.

As for sleeping pads, I have used a Thermarest ultralight for 8 or 9 years now. I like it and haven't had any issues at all with it.

Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.
