Great tent, held up well in the alps and stayed dry and comfy at lower elevations to boot.

This is a great tent for the most part. I really only use this tent for winter adventures and it holds up great to wind and snow even up at 15,000 feet and down to -20 F. It fits three medium sized people easily. The walls come up near vertical to give more head room which is nice when the weather keeps you inside. The poles are a bit light and it is possible to bend them out of shape durring set up. On some cold nights it can get a little condensation buildup on the walls but not to bad. The biggest problem I have with this tent is the small vestibule space. The front is adequate for putting on boots if you sit inside the tent with your feet hanging out the door into the vestibule. The back however hardly has enough room for three pairs of mountaineering boots with out stacking them. It would be nice if the footprint would come out into the vestibule space as well.

I'm mainly a 3 season camper, and happily had the precursor to this for several years. The headroom is very good and 2 people and dress simultaneously with no trouble. I can put two normal size folding cots in, stow gear under them and have room in the middle. I went this 4 season tent because thunderstorms most anywhere blow through with high winds and this tent can take that. Also the clip fly is the best I've seen for keeping the rainfly OFF the tent wall, regardless of how long & hard it rains. I've experience NO condensation problems. Finally the sewing by SD is the best. Once you've practiced several times, you can set-up and take-down quickly, even in the rain (which I've done). I agree about the vestibule size being too small and the footprint should cover the vestibule as well. This tent lets in a lot of light through the walls and rainfly, which helps your mood, especially if your stuck in bad weather. This is a simple dome design with lots of room and structural integrity. I expect to use this tent from 0 to 10,000 ft. for many years.
