In your experience, is this really a three season tent? I just got it and am concerned that the fly allows too much heat to escape/cold air to enter..

Marmot classifies the Aura as a 3 season tent. The reason is if you use a tent with large amounts of mesh you can get snow blowing inside during gusty conditions. If you're in a snow free area, that should not be a problem. As Thomas said, a tent doesn't provide much in the way of insulation. Hope that helps.

I've camped in this tent in 0ºC and up to 25ºC, and I've been fine. The tent is more there to keep the elements/bugs out than to regulate temperature, just pick up a good sleeping bag and you're set!
