It seemed when I started living out back in the late 1970s all that was available were just regular 4 season tents. I got the old North Face A-frame Toulumne and it wasn't designated 3 season or convertible or whatever, just a good tent for rough weather. Now, it's all confusing.

I currently own a Hilleberg Staika free standing dome and wonder why it's taken me so long to get one. It's a great tent in all ways, the best tent in a long line of personal tents, and I went thru the North Face Westwind(good-discontinued), Eureka Timberland(who hasn't?), and Mt Hardwear(Muir Trail-strong, Light Wedge-light, Hammerhead, Mountain Jet). I say go for the best 4 season you can afford. When you're on top of a high bald in a summer thunderstorm, you'll be glad you did.
