Does anyone own the latest version of the Big Sky Revolution 1P tent ? It is the double walled variant.
I can't seem to find many reviews on the tent. I like the self standing feature, but I am not so sure about how well ventilated the tent is compared to the Tarptent Moment DW.
Other thing that I like about it, is the dimensions are larger than the Tarptent.

I am interested in hearing about your experience with the tent, especially how well ventilated it is.

Macr237,

Any reviews of the tent?  I’m looking at the same tent for backpacking and bikepacking.  Any comments you have would be appreciated as there still aren’t many reviews.

SpiderWJ, I have been quite happy with it. Easy to ereect, long enough for me (I'm 6' or 182cm). It could be a little wider (maybe 6"/15cms), but that is a nicety. It packs quite small. Handles the weather alright. Some photos can be seen here on a kayaking trip that I did.
