An avid backpacker, I've searched long and hard to find a tent to meet my needs. This tent was everything I was looking for. If you want to go ultra light, this tent might not be for you. However this tent will keep you dry and comfortable with all the headroom and the ability to keep your gear close and dry under the spacious vestibules.

I was pinned down in this tent in the High Uintas just under 11,000 feet in elevation durig a torential rain storm that lasted over 8 hours. I could see the rain running under the tent but I was dry inside. the fact that you can open and close the inner pannels on this tent also allows you better control over condensation and provides better ventilation than other tents I've tried. You'll have no regrets on this one.
