Summary:
Awesome tent. Simply the best I have ever used. I spent many a day checking all the tents in this catagory out and the Tiros 1 won hands down.

Customer Service:
How can you spell poor with a word that starts with "s" and ends with a "s". Non existant. Though I like the product, allot, I'll not buy any of their other products. And I'll recommend that no one else buy their products as well. Can you tell I'm upset?

Summary:
I bought this tent new/used from a lady who had never used it! Probably the best $350 I have ever spent, save for my motorbike helmet. This tent will stand up to anything nature has to throw at it, probably even a typhon. This tent has so many guy line points you can make it more secure then Fort Knox! If you are lookig for a bomb proof, high quality, 4 season tent, this is for you. Keep in mind you must seam-seal the fly yourself and maybe not a bad idea to do the tent while you're at it, even tho I'm sure the factory did a good job, better safe then wet and cold. Wish they still produced a foot print for it but oh well life goes on.

Customer Service:
none needed yet

Summary:
Great tent. This tent has been completly buried on Baker several times.NO PROBLEM! A friend of mine who is an expert gear basher borrowed it and then purchased one.Some people say they have ventilation problems with this tent I haven't seen it.I will admit that most of the time it is pitched in breezy sites.This tent is light, strong, and has a small footprint perfect for mountainering.

Summary:
I really think that this is a great tent. It has taken me everywhere, and it's bomb proof. It sheads snow great and is very good in high winds. The only draw back is that the fly is not taped and you must seal it yourself. Also they no longer make the footprints for this tent so you must either make your own or use a tarp. Overall I think that this is the best tent that I have ever slept in.

I also owned a North Face Corielos Tent I'm not sure the correct spelling. Anyways this tent sucks. It has no vestibule and it isn't very waterproof. It is only good for good weather summer camping in a dry area. It is also really light.
