I bought this tent in December 2005. I had a small 4 by 6 tent that everyone laughed at when we went camping. So my wife and I bought this one.

I haven't regretted that decision. There is ample space for both of us, large loft for flashlight and other stuff can fit in the side pockets.

I was concerned about waterproofing and I was not disappointed, in Trinidad (W.I.) the weather can change suddenly because of a change in rainfall patterns, the dry season is no longer dry. Well three times we camped through very heavy rains one shower lasted about six hours, one all night, whilst the other campers were running to put up extra covers we my wife and I were dry and snug.

The second year we camped I was surprised to see when after 6 hours of rain when I returned to the tent from the beach which was not too far away that there were only two small drops of water on he floor, the floor of the tent mostly got wet from going in and out.

The poles I think are a bit fragile though so I am extra careful when setting up no to put too much stress on them after setting up however they hold out quite well even with very strong breeze.

Tip for those who camp, ensure that the tent is pulled tightly this ensures quick runoff of water. Also always put some form of plastic on the ground under the tent this keeps ground water from seeping up, finally keep bags away from the tent sides this reduces surface tension and leads to leaking.

Anyhow I'm 2 weeks away form camping season and I can't wait, already got my tent out dried and cleaned for the season.
