I've been using this tent for about two years now in conditions ranging from deserts in Texas and New Mexico to the mountains in Montana and British Columbia. I'm guessing I have about 50 nights in it. Most of them solo, but some with one other person.

A great summer tent. Reasonably lightweight, lots of headroom and plenty of ventilation. A nice large vestibule and easy access/egress. I haven't tried it with three people, mainly since I'm a broad shouldered guy who likes his space, but it looks like it has similar amounts of room to most modern 3-person tents.

The tent is very well ventilated, which is nice on hot summer evenings, but during the shoulder seasons or on cold mountain nights I would definitely prefer something with a little less mesh. I've used it on nights that got down to freezing and could really feel a cool breeze through the tent when the wind picked up.

I'm going to be buying another tent more suitable for cold weather trips, but I imagine this will stay as my go-to tent for summer canoe trips, car camping, and overnight trips.
