Marmot makes good stuff but this fell a little short. Pros: It's a great tent in fair to mild weather, easy to set up with the clips and has the convenience of two doors. Cons: 1,The zippers are too small and flimsy and get stuck easily. 2, It takes too long to figure out which way the fly goes. (Maybe it's me.) 3, Used it for two nights last month on Lake Sakakawea, North Dakota, and it collapsed on me in a storm while I was lying there thinking about how much money I saved.

Hi, I got this tent recently and took it to Mt. Rainier. I camped overnight twice. There was no wind there so I can't comment about the sturdiness mentioned here, but the temperatures dropped to around freezing. There was not a drop of condensation inside the tent by dawn, everything was on the fly's inner and outer sides, including frost on the outside. The tent itslef is very comfortable, two doors and vestibules, very aired. It is light and packs small and that's the big advantage. All in all, after pitching all the 10 pegs, it seemed quite firm.

I have had this tent for a few years now. I have used it on several backpacking trips and even on a couple long distance bike trips. It has held up well. A black bear tried to push it over from both sides. I guess he smelled something. (I thought I took care of all the smells...) I'm glad he didn't try too hard to push it, but I was still very pleased that the tent and poles didn't break as he was pushing hard enough to make me nervous. Only a couple very small puncture holes from the claws.
Also, the vestibules have lots of space and there is a place to hang an attic in the tent. The amount of mesh seems adequate. I haven't had it in wind storm but I have had it in rain and sleet coming down like no tomorrow and it did fine. It does have guy points on the rainfly for added stability. The tent body tapers at the feet for reduced weight, so if you and your buddy do not have sleeping pads that taper at the feet as well, it may annoy you as they would have to overlap a tad. Not a tent for mountaineering, but great for 3-season backpacking. P.S. a tip on your zipper use: All zippers must be used with care. Grip as closely to the base as possible and be gentle. (This tip comes from my friend who is an expert in zippers. I haven't had any problem with the zippers.)
