By Ranked #671 - 4-Season Tents December 5, 2008

I expect to mostly be camping in non-alpine climates without snow. However, I want a quality tent that can handle most weather conditions including freezing rainy weather while hiking or canoeing in the southeast, hot summer conditions, and/or snow if I wind up going to the mountains. Is this tent versatile enough or will I need a lighter tent for the South?

The one thing you lose with 4 season tents is some breathability - these things tend to get a little clammy if it's hot and muggy. But if you truly are going to use it in such variable conditions, and want something that is adequate (if not ideal) in all, go for it. You can also always take the fly off for some better ventilation.
