Don't let anyone tell you this is a three man tent. It is tight with two and minimal gear (with no vestibule). I have enjoyed mine in all kinds of weather in the Colorado and New Mexico Rockies (downpours to heavy snow). It has never leaked and condensation has been very light. A little more headroom would have been nice and it is priced high but I wouldn't trade it back for a double wall tent.
