I'm an employee at E.M.S. and we found this tent never touched in rental. We decided to try it out on a three day trip to the Catskills. It is very easy to set up. However it lacks a sufficent spot to hang my lantern in the tent. It also has to be staked out or else it sags. In the morning there was mimimal condensation I did however have the lantern on all night to keep it dry.

The next night however we were at the top of Mt. Whitenburg (in the catskills). The winds had to be a steady 50mph with very strong gusts. We were on a slab of ice and the tent had only been guyed off on both sides. In the morning after an exrtremly windy night two of the three poles were bent. This was an older model and I don't think it's even for sale anymore but if you do end up using it avoid the wind and have lots of stakes and line.
