Design: 3-4 season dome
Sleeps: 2
Ease of Setup: Difficult
Weight: 3.8 kg
Price Paid: $335

If you are looking for a 4-season tent get a proper one otherwise this is a passable but average 3-season tent that can zip up if the weather is bad. Not that sturdy as it has 3 poles not 4 so the bottom end moves around in the wind and needs to be pegged out well. Very hard to keep the fly off the inside in the side sections causing damp which made my bag wet, not good!

Also the top section that opens up for air flow is completely useless with the fly on due to the sleeved pole design making sure it creates no airflow whatsoever, just look at the pic... The clip on pole design is 100 times easier to setup than this sleeved design. I was struggling to set this up in mild wind at -5C temperature as hands were freezing poles hard to feed quickly and kept getting stuck.

Not a tent for being in a bad position in! Other than that its good build quality is fine for camping and normal hiking so that bumps it up to 3 stars but it's not worth the $$ when you pay an extra 30% for an expedition quality tent.
