I camp year-round, and if Im not on snow this is the tent that goes. I absolutley love this tent. The other review is correct in that a shorter person is much more suited for this tent. Im 5'8" and I sleep with a ThermaRest regular length pad and it just fits in perfectley. The J shape of the tent allows for quick access to necessaties and is a large enough area to keep your next mornings clothes dry and warm. The interior pocket is huge and can hold a lot of smaller items that need to be readily accessible. Most of the main tent body is mesh so your not going to have any condensation problems with this tent. Even with the rainfly it stays well ventilated. The vestibule is large enough for my Bora 80 backpack too. Be sure to get the footprint. It will not only lenghten the life of your tent floor material, it provides a clean area to get in and out of if the ground is wet. With a compression sack, I can compress the tent/fly/footprint down to size of a cantaloupe melon. Very package, light and suprisingly durable tent. Nice work Mountain Hardwear.
