Great Protection, Tons of Space

By Kelham Stephenson Ranked #672 - 3-Season Tents September 18, 2010

Spent about 25 nights in this so far this year. By far the best tent I have ever owned. Extremely sturdy DAC poles and goes up quick. The huge open doorway makes it easy to move around items stored in the vestibule. There are plenty of pockets for storage and plenty of space inside, comfortably fits 2 5"10 people or 1 and a 45lb dog. Ceiling height is good, can sit up easily and move around without hitting my head.

Which brings me to the vestibule storage. SOO much space, I took this with me for Ride the Rockies 2010 for 7 nights and fit two huge duffels and two road bikes (front wheel off) in the vestibule with a little fan dangling.Because of the mesh the tent breathes great and has held up great against wind, rain and snow.

Although it is a little on the hefty side, split between two people makes it just over 3lbs each. Probably a little overkill as a solo tent but my lab follows me on most trips so it works out ok.The fly is very thin sil nylon but stretches well and really keeps out the elements.Like the other posts below I have also had the same issues with condensation but nothing extreme that detracts from the product. My only other little gripe is it's a little to easy to drag dirt and stones into your sleeping area because there's no floor to the vestibule.Overall - excellent tent which I use for all 4 seasons, easy set up and breakdown and plenty of space. Very comparable to MTN Hardwears 2 person tents but with the added vestibule.
