I've used this tent in the Tetons and also along the AT in Maine.
First the plus side: Its light; compact; easy to set up and move; and I'ved experienced no leaks yet, even in heavy prolonged rain.
Negatives: The length is a bit short, at 6'-3" tall I find my feet tend to touch the end of the tent. The tent does not seem to ventilate very well with the vestibule in place and closed. As a consequence the tent tends to sweat inside (making for wet feet in the morning (see above)). The small interior, and low descending ridge makes prolonged stays less than ideal. The biggest negative I have found however is that when the vestibule is opened accumulated rain water tends to pour into the tent from above.
