After reading the reviews I was sold that this was the best tent since sliced bread. My husband and I just got back from a week in the Wind River Range in Wyoming where we tested it out. The tent is a bit cumbersome to put up in the rain. The mesh on the front portion started ripping on day one and progressively got worse. We had to cover the many holes with medical tape. There was a lot of condensation inside almost every night. I heavily seam sealed the tent on all outside seams and the tent leaked after three nights of solid rain. I'm returning the tent to REI. Would not recommend.
