I submitted a great review on this tent about a year ago when it had little use.

I've changed my opinion on this tent. It's definitly not a real good buy; let me tell you why:

1. Seams not taped.

I just don't understand this. For this class of tent it should have been taped. Sure you still have to seam seal it, but it should have been taped.

2. The tent sags

After a year of moderate use it's like the tent just droops. I think this is due to it having the clips rather then the sleeves, and of course material stretching. I recommend going with North Face newer tents much more solid.

3. The windows always fog up

When I saw this tent I went, wow cool windows. You know what, you don't need em! The damn things always fog up anyway and you can't see anything.

Very disappointed with this tent after using it for a while. There are much better tents out there (NF, Moss, Dana Designs), for close to the same price.
