Gear Review
In-Freaking-Credible!
By Spencer Buchanan

This thing is a beast! it is huge and has hella-room. The sides are riddled with gear pockets. The fly is kind of gimpy as it covers the sides but not fully the doors. To remedy this, the doors are waterproof, but to get the full advantage of waterproof/fly space, you have to get the vestibule! 11 freaking feet of space! This has some of the most sq. footage in this tent range and I will get nothing less. Always a cute touch with the welcome mat, but helpful to keep the tent clean too.
The poles are pretty light and super strong. The pole to tent interface is slick and the sleeves for the poles are pretty tough. I hate tents that the sleeves get ripped! The bathtub bottom rocks but the footprint is not that much more and always another set of comfort. This is actually pretty light too for what it comes with. If I put the vestibule, gearloft, tent and all in the carrying bag it fits fine and is not bad. I can actually pack everything up pretty easy between a few backpacks if you wanted to take this out yonder and have a huge tent. Definite must for a family of 3 or more!
