Summary:
I got this tent for me and my son, I like that fact that it was not to hard to set up for just one person. it's zipper is a bit sticky at points and I would prefer that the front weather fly be inside. I live in Florida and yet to see how it holds against heavy rains.

Summary:
This was a gift that I picked out a couple years ago. I mainly go backpacking, but I use this when I go car camping -- and I love it. It's nice and roomy, and I like the smaller side vestibule. It fits all our things - and us - and nothing gets wet. It's a great tent and I would recommend it to anyone.

We bought this tent to do car camping with our family. We have used it several times and its worked out very well for us. Its easy to set up and is plenty roomy for two adults and two small kids.

Summary:
I loved the room in it for two. Incredibly simple set-up. The vestibule area is great. With another cheap tarp underneath, we didn't get much water at all and we lasted through several major downpours. It also held out very well in the high wind. Unfortunately, we had MAJOR zipper trouble which can't be overlooked. Maybe we just got a defective one, but the zipper stuck since we began using it and then finally self-destructed. It's a shame, because otherwise the tent was great for two.
