I've used my Gunnison 2.1 for two years now in spring, summer and fall. It fits a 25x78x2.5 inch pad with room to spare for all my stuff. It has never leaked a drop despite some decent storms. It has received no special care other than hosing it off when dirty and always storing dry.

It fits me (about 6 feet 2 inches) unlike many other 2 person tents. If you need to share with a second person, you better be very fond of them (true with other two-person tents) but you will have two vestibules and two doors.

While I am sure there are better tents, this tent is large for a two person backpacking tent, reasonably priced, well-made and has earned my trust. I am comfortable recommending the tent to anyone.
