Overall, a super tent. I got it for car-camping, and have slept in 15 degree temps and high winds -- snug as a bug, without any guylines. On warm nights without the fly, ventilation is superb. I would use it for backpacking if I didn't have to carry too much water (desert) -- great quality and functionality. Very strong and secure, could handle a fair amount of snow, although I haven't been in a snowstorm yet. The vestibules are large enough for a good-sized pack and boots.
