Bad news from the start! When I first got it and brought it home, I set it up in the yard to get to know how it set up. When the first bit of tension was applied as poles were correctly placed, the back wall ripped right up the middle about 2ft long. I figured defect but when I returned it and set the new one up at camp, two of the tent stake loops ripped out when the tension was applied! Oh, and forget this tent in ANY weather! The sun rots it, you WILL get wet in the rain (no rain fly), and the gentle breeze will make you hug each pole for fear of collapse. I have been let down by Hillary before. My father used to say they were a great tents and camping gear. I haven't seen that yet.
