Summary

Amazing tent. Not for warm conditions or light backpacking. Perfect for late fall/winter camping.

Pros

  • Durability
  • Protection from elements
  • Easy to set up

Cons

  • Bulky
  • Heavy

This is a great tent for the months when you wouldn't normally see yourself camping. The double layers keep the inside much warmer than you would think.

The only problem can be some condensation on the inside of the tent, but any tent that has this kind of protection is going to have that problem. Fully packed with the footprint it weighs around 10 lbs...so unless you are doing something pretty serious or day hiking in the colder months, you would probably leave it at home.  

There are five poles needed to have it fully set up, but once you do it a couple times, it is quite easy. You can tell it will hold up to SERIOUS weather conditions. It is quite roomy for a 2-person tent...you could probably fit three small to medium sized people in there. The vestibules on the sides of the tent are also quite roomy and you would be able to fit your packs/boots there quite easily (for two people at least).

I would highly recommend this tent for anyone who likes camping in the cold weather.
