Excellent 3 Man Tent - Versatile

I've had this tent for 3 months and have slept a few nights in it. Left it setup for a week to see how it stood up to the elements - excellent. The amount of mesh is fantastic, great views out the main mesh like watching a big screen TV after a day on the trail. I like the two side doors, so no stepping on anyone if you have 2 people using it. For 2 people it is very roomy, 3 would be fine. Very easy to setup and the option of using the footprint with the fly adds versatility, I haven't done this yet since it is summer and the bugs would kill me. I am not a minimalist, so it is heavier than my 2 man REI 4 season, but I like the extra room. I think it is a tad over 9 lbs and is a little bigger, but again no big deal for me. The way you can zip up panels to cover the mesh makes me think this would be a good 3.5 season tent. Vestibules are small and you could fit your pack, but then the door will be blocked, only hit I have, but not a deal breaker. I would highly recommend this tent.
