When I first received this tent I was shocked to notice that the side of the box claimed that this particular tent was to be used as a casual campers tent, a "light use" tent.

I set it up to take a look at it and was some what disappointed at the material. It just seemed very cheaply made. I decided to take it camping with me on a night that reached temps somewhere in the middle teens.

I was very impressed at how well it stood up to the colder climate. I stayed comfortably warm and had a good night's sleep. When I woke up I was expecting to be frozen with condensation but again to my surprise the inside of the tent was completely dry.

However there was a nice thick layer of ice covering the exterior, but like I said I stayed quite warm. It's only been on one camping trip and my favorite climate is 100 degrees and 110% humidity so we will see how it stands up then. Until then I have to say that I was fairly impressed.
