This is a great tent! Picked it up on clearance due to floor model. Have used it numerous times in weather ranging from below freezing to lower 90s (fall-early summer) without problems. With the rain fly on it's tight as a drum. I had one trip where it rained two days straight with hard downpours at times and not a drop inside.

While the vestibules are small they're enough for shoes and similar sized items. Interior is good for two people with light gear (wouldn't recommend three even w/o gear). A tad on the heavy side for long distance hiking but very manageable for everything else. I highly recommend it and would buy another one at full price if this one ever gets damaged.
