This tent is the bomb! I have taken it up to Zion in Utah several times in the late fall and it performed flawlessly. Something about camping at that time of year assures you that you will not be pestered by the summer crowds.

The thing is incredibly solid...with 30 mph winds, it did not cause so much as a ripple. Lots of room inside which I love and it holds the heat in beautifully. I use a tent heater and a brunton Liberty lantern and it is cozier than my bedroom!

Eureka put tons of vents on the interior so you can adjust venhilation as needed but the only time I was cold was when I had to go outside to answer the call of nature.

Do yourself a favor and get one of these if you need a super strong, weatherproof, bombproof tent that will stand up to the worst mother nature can dish out. It is a little on the heavy side at 11 lbs but well worth the weight in poor weather.
