Love This Tent

Rating:*****
I have taken this tent on a few trips since I bought it a few months ago, and I have nothing bad to say about this tent. I have not tested this yet to see if it can handle any snow but it definitely holds up to rain and wind. The Inside is very roomy for 2 people and I am a little bit bigger being about 210 pounds there is still lots of room to sit up and have another person in the tent. Also the 2 vestibules offer plenty of room for 2 peoples gear. It is light weight great for backpacking and touring. Easy to set up, i have had this tent and rain fly up in under 2 minutes on one trip when the rain started pouring in the NW. This is a great tent.

"A great tent!"

Rating:*****
I spend a week every summer trekking through the boundary waters. My old tent was a creek side sale special that had major condensation problems. This tent has tons of room for two, is well constructed, pretty decent on weight, and much much better on condensation. Overall, this is a pretty good buy. This tent isn't top of the line, but it certainly won't break the bank and is really good at keeping you dry and comfortable.
