Great Tent for all conditions

This tent has been great so far. We've used it year round in Utah. Recently we were out in the mountains and the forecast said rain. After about 4 hours of rain, it turned over to snow. The following morning we had a layer of ice covering the tent and a few inches of snow but there was no condensation on the inside or leaking. Very impressed. No problems setting up with the poles being on the inside of the tent, you get used to it after the first time. I definitely would suggest buying another tube of Silnet right when you buy this tent. I tried to be conservative but in order to cover the seams adequately 2 tubes were needed...you dont want to be in the middle of seam sealing waiting for another tube in the mail. As almost everyone has mentioned, 2 people and SOME gear is a comfortable fit but 3 people is pushing friendships to the limit.
