Ranked #1890 - 3-Season Tents
October 21, 2008
This is a great tent overall. It has been through many week long trips in the Smoky Mountains as well as a 2 month backpacking trip through Europe. It is roomier than most two-person tents in my experience and holds up well against all elements. It does create condensation on the inside of the tent after a night of breathing in a damp place. I have encountered this problem with several tents made by other companies also. It is just one of those things you have to deal with; your not supposed to be as comfortable as you are in your bed at home. Overall this is a great tent and a good investment.
