From REI:
"This bomber 4-season basecamp tent's patented design offers superior strength in a large, high- performance package. Set-up is easy with five equal-length poles and continuous pole sleeves; x-clips at intersections eliminate pole movement. Compression Tension Design™ works like a spring against the rainfly and offers superior strength; frame restrictors provide more stability. Large hooped vestibule provides a stable, roomy gear storage area. Two doors and large no-see-um mesh panels offer superior venting. DAC Featherlight® poles shave ounces off your load yet provide an extremely stable frame and are easily repairable. Polyester rainfly and MicroMesh™ offer maximum UV-resistance, durability and tautness to keep you dry. DryGuys™ guy out your tent in extreme conditions with up to a 10mm climbing rope; won't wick, freeze or hold water. Interior pockets, removable gear loft and stow-away door pockets keep your house organized and gear accessible. Adjustable stake loops have ladderloc tensioner that is backed up by a second webbing loop; four-season loops are large enough to accept skis. Rainfly doors have zipper flaps to keep water out and are reflective for locating at night. Peak vents, guylines, water-repellent zippers and zipper pulls are also reflective. Patented ZipGate™ allows you to replace zipper slider in the field. MSR uses non-wicking materials throughout; these prevent water weight gain during your trip and prevent water transport into the tent. RapidRoll™ tent stuff bag is generously sized and easy to use; designed like a climbing rope bag with side-loading for quick, easy packing."

"We love this product! It is easy to setup and take down. The venting works great. It is warm and roomy. Fits my wife, two kids and I on our therm-a-rest pads, with room to spare if some gear needs to be brought in. Solid, high quality construction."
