From REI:
"The Big Agnes Flying Diamond 6 deluxe car camping/basecamp tent will withstand 4-season weather conditions and features a main area that sleeps 4 and a smaller area that sleeps 2. 1 large main door and a smaller back door allow easy access; 1 vestibule covers the main door and offers gear storage. Pole sleeves and plastic clips attach the tent body to the pole frame for a quick, convenient setup; color-coded webbing and buckles ease setup as well. By using poles of differing diameters, the aluminum Pressfit combi pole system maximizes headroom and comfort. Rainfly is made from durable ripstop polyester with an extra-thick waterproof polyurethane coating; all seams are taped with waterproof, solvent-free polyurethane tape. Mesh windows in the canopy and multiple rainfly vents keep air moving to help prevent condensation inside the tent. 12 mesh floor pockets help organize your gear; gear loft loops let you add your own loft, sold separately. Reflective guyline provides nighttime visibility. Briefcase-style carry bag features long shoulder straps and organizational pockets. Package also includes hook-shaped aluminum stakes. Average minimum weight specification is based on tent, rainfly and poles only."

Flying Diamond 6
Reviewed by Joe Lapthorne, Jun 18, 2009

"I've only set up the tent in the backyard, but so far so good. Very simple design, no brainer instructions (upon a second reading). Coloured poles are a smart feature, one change I'd make is to colour the front poles orange, to match the orange grommet straps on the front of the tent."
