One of the best tents

I live, camp and hike in Idaho. I'm not a serious hiker/camper like some of the people I go with but I go all year round with this tent. I've done about 40 trips in this tent and it is still in the same condition as when I bought it. I've used other cheaper tents and they've gone the way of the dodo. I spent a lot of money on this one and it has been well worth it. Although it isn't super light, it's durability makes up for it.
It's also not a 4 season tent, but I've been in 10 below zero at night in it and it performed just as well as other 4 season tents.
I love the TV antenna poles that fold up easy and are very light weight.
The fly is unbelievable as it provides large spaces outside the living space but out of the rain and snow so you can keep your boots and the ground around the tent dry. A few trips I went on had torrential rain - heavy enough that the sound was deafening in the tent - and not one leak.
I thought I was crazy for buying such an expensive tent but now after all this time, I wouldn't take any other tent with me on a hike/camp.
