My scout troop bought about 10 of these Outfitters and they have served us very well. They are durable enough to withstand years of use by even the most abusive owners , and believe me there is nothing more abusive than a first year scout. They are warm in the winter and even in weather below 20 degrees it stays above freezing inside the tent. In side there are to places to stash small stuff and there is a window in the back of the tent and a window on the door.

I have only two complaints about these tents. The first is that they are too heavy for backpacking use and the second is that as a 4 man tent they are very cramped. I would call them more like a 2 man with gear tent. Otherwise we have been extremely happy with them.
