I researched extensively before buying this tent on sale at Mountain Hideout in Dallas (nice folks.) I'm 6'5", which precludes 90 percent of quality tents, so I really like the space the pentagonal shape provides. I can sleep in the middle with my wife and son on either side. I mostly canoe trip so the weight is not a problem, but it packs short (21") which makes it easy to stow in a dry bag. I recently spent a long, rainy night (and day) in it and found zero moisture in the tent, although condensation under the fly was heavy. I like the zip-out panels that allow variable ventilation. I set this tent up and took it down for 10 days straight on vacation in Oregon and never dreaded the task, although it is significantly easier with two people. Excellent purchase.
