Very well designed tent, a lot of bells and whistles, after using it about 50 times I really like it a lot. Nice interior space for two people, can handle three ok, four people would leave little room for gear on the inside. A lot of tie down anchors in the fly, with velcro tabs on the under side to lock around the 3 tent poles, so it can be secured very well in heavy wind. Probably not exactly an expidition level tent, but it can handle four seasons. The fly fabric is polyester of an in-between weight, not the cheap thin stuff some manufactures use, but then not quite as strong as say North Face. It's possible to ventilate the tent really well. Zippers slide very smoothly. Sets up quickly with tent pole sleeves (vs those pesky plastic clips that actually make a weaker structure). The easiest way to feed the poles into the sleeves is to set the two rear corner tent stakes first (i.e., the stakes at the closed ends of the sleeves). Then as you start to slid the pole into the sleeve, gently pull the tent fabric tight against the far stake. This staightens out any folds in the tent fabric that could catch the pole as it's being pushed through the sleeve. Same concept when takign the tent down; leave the far tent stakes in the ground, remove the tips of poles from the grommets to collapse the tent, then gently pull the tent fabric tight against the rear stakes to straighten the sleeve material while sliding the poles out.
