They cost between $700 and $1000. This is not a backpacking tent...it weighs over 16 pounds:

Outer dimensions 3.55m (L) x 1.7m (W) x 1.4m (H) 11'8" (L) x 5'7" (W) x 4'7" (H)
Inner dimensions 2.65m (L) x 1.5m (W) x 1.3m (H) 8'8" (L) x 4'11" (W) x 4'3" (H)
Carry bag 0.6m (L) x 0.25m (W) x 0.25m (H) 1'11" (L) x 0'10" (W) x 0'10" (H)
Weight 7.4Kg 16.3lb
How many people can sleep in a FieldCandy tent?
FieldCandy tents are significantly larger (width, length and height) than the industry standard two man tent, making for a more comfortable and spacious sleeping area. Plus a separate lobby/porch area for storage or wet items.

I imagine you'd wake up in the middle of the night to a pack of hungry hikes trying to eat your tent.
