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.
