Alright, after reading the description both here and REI there are a few things I want to clear up. It says that this tent is designed for altitudes of 15,000+. What happens if you go below that range will it not function as well? Second, clearly this is not a summer tent and is meant for the cooler days, what is the best temperature range for this tent? Finally, what does it mean by double door? Does that mean that there is an "Internal Vestibule" or does that mean that there are two doors in the front?
Thanks

Nick, this is a serious mountaineering tent. It is made to withstand weather typical in high-altitude, alpine conditions such as high winds, low temperatures, and heavy snowfall. It will do these things well at any elevation. That being said, it is one of the most specialized tents out there. Depending on what you intend to use the tent for, this is very likely not the tent you're looking for. It would make a swell winter tent, but will be overkill for the other 3 seasons. The most likely issues outside of winter conditions will be overheating and condensation problems. There are some good 3-season tents out there which excel at 3-season camping, but will still hold their own in mild winter conditions.
