One of the best two person tents I've ever used. It's rated as a two person tent but there is plenty of room for a third. Plus with the ample vestibule there is more than enuf room for gear. A little heavy if your looking for a combo one and two person tent. But rugged enuf for the mountain hardware name.

While not for the lightweight purist, this tent is a strong choice for those wanting more than reasonable roominess (in tent and vestibule) and versatility with less-than-user-friendly weather. You won't lack storage pockets (tension shelf seems to work well and is handy addt'l storage). ""Convertible"" window is great for views as well as adjustible ventilation for varying conditions (a tremendous benefit for early/late season weather). In pretty high winds (35-45 mph?) the tent was pretty stable when staked and guyed out. Planning to intentionally get buried in the snow for some backcountry boarding on fresh powder this season in the Sierras and see how the tent holds up...

If looking for a very good 3+ season tent look no further. I just recently had the chance of going an a backpacking trip with a buddy of mine and it held up great in at least 35 mph winds. When we awoke, the tent had about 2 feet of fresh snow. Despite a little less room, the tent stood up to the snow and the midnight wind very well. I really craved the internal mesh pockets and plenty of room where I could store all the gear. On the minus side, however, I found some condensation in the tent when I woke up. Also, I have to agree with the other reviewers on this: it weighs a little too much to be carried on summer trips or other light excursions.

A very well thought out, if a bit heavy tent. It is definately good enough for all but stormy winter weather (guessing, haven't had to find out!). It has lots of guy out points and loops for tensioning it from the inside. A "tension shelf" adds strength to the front of the tent while also giving you a nice place to dry socks and stash a headlight. Plenty of pockets along the sides. Ventilation/condensation is pretty good. There is a mesh ceiling that can be zipped closed in the winter and a zipper hole in the ceiling for adjusting the fly without leaving the tent. It is roomy enough for 2 people with space for gear in the back and in the vestibule. I was surpised by what a big difference the clear plastic UVX windows (one in front, one on top) make in the "mood" of the tent. It is so much more pleasant to lie in a tent if you can still see the outdoors.

A great tent for someone looking for an "all around tent" to do a little of everything.

Biggest complaint would be the lack of a pole for the vestibule but that would just add to the weight.
