First off, I do NOT own this tent, and I would not normally review something I do not own, but I am finding myself compelled to rate this 5 stars, just to offset the above review of 'mis2478456'. This tent is in NO WAY a 'rip off'. Expensive? Yes, it is. Worth it? Every penny! If you are going above, oh say, 6,000 meters, or above 50 degrees N or below 50 degrees S latitude, especially for an extended period of time, or for a base camp, then you are going to thank (your)God that you inside this tent or one similar. If we are ever on the same mountain together, and you are in your $379 bargain 4-season tent, don't come knocking at my door!
