Solid 3.5-season Tent

It looks like I'm with serenslipi2132526. I have the older model as well. By today's standards, I wouldn't call this tent lightweight. But, it is much more solid than lighter 3-season tents out there. I've been on trips in the Italian alps where my friends' lighter tents were getting drenched and blowing away while I was sleeping like a baby. I've seen other sites advertise this tent as a 3.5 season tent. I would tend to agree. The fly and poles are pretty bomber for a 3-season tent. There's just too much mesh on the inside to make this a 4-season tent. When I'm hiking with a partner I don't mind sharing the tent with, I bring this along. Otherwise, I bring my bivy sack.
