Bought the Lanshan 2 18 mths ago. Funny, I have an old marmot limelight dark green, love it and use in snow but size and weight have seen relegation to car camps with the young bloke. Lanshan's done about 45 nights. Can't fault it for price point, durability and I use it mainly for one person palatial room. I threw for the solid inner, which does make a difference. You get used to low and high pitched based on site and weather. As it is the poor cousin to Zpacks DCF fabric, it does sag in the wet, rain more than snow. Good pitching drills will reduce spindrift and a higher vestibule pitch eliminates condensation.
For a 4-5 day trip, fits in my 33L day pack easily. Downside- I can't pitch well on uneven ground, but that could be me. Ensure good pegs for door tie outs. Was a *&%$#! to pitch in sand a few times without right pegs, many dead man anchors with sticks...
