I picked this up for my 10 year old son as his first tent. We took it on a scout camp out this weekend and got to try it out. This tent was easy enough to put up in the rain, though due to the design, the poles require some effort to put through the sleeves. The fly went on in a heartbeat. I was surprised it has taped seams instead of a bathtub floor, but I put a tarp under it and even though we pitched it on wet muddy ground and had some light rain we stayed very dry. The temperature dropped unexpectedly overnight, and I was nicely surprised by how much warmer it was in the tent than outdoors when I opened up the tent to go. We had a heavy hard frost on the outside of the tent, some condensation inside. This tent also took the wind very well, even though the wind took down two other tents near us. Without the fly the ventilation looks good for a hot summer night, with it I think there is very good rain / wind protection. The fly allows for flexible ventilation, as needed, for in-between weather. Lots of pockets to store stuff inside, and plenty of room in the vestibule for boots, etc. True, it is heavy for backpacking, but we plan to use it as a big kid car camping tent. With two people and minimal gear (winter coats, two small backpacks) we were nice and cozy.

I slept in this tent for several days up in the Appalachian Mountains. It was very comfortable and I had no problems with staying dry either from condensation in the morning or from the one day it rained. It was easy to put together, has nice ventilation options and convenient storage pockets etc. I slept in it by myself and had plenty of room. I think it would be a little crowded with two people, but since there are two doors it would definitely be possible. You wouldn’t have to crawl over you camping buddy to get out and go to the bathroom in the middle of the night.
