I have been in Boy Scouts my whole life, got my Eagle, and now I am a leader with my troop. Since I joined, my troop has always used the 2-man and 4-man Timberlines. I have used them any where from torrential rainstorms, to snowstorms where we have gotten 6 inches of snow overnight. I find that they vent very well in the summer, and retain heat well in the winter.

They also have a very long life, I know that after VERY hard use some of our tents are still trucking at over ten years. They are heavy though so the Scouts must divide the tent parts in two to share the weight while camping. And you MUST stake out the fly and use the guidelines, if you want to stay dry. I wouldn't want to trust our scouts' wellbeing to any other tent.
