Not impressed with this tent. Aftering having used Sierra Designs tents for years, the Half Dome doesn't compare.

It sets up fast, but the poles don't stretch the tent out to its full dimensions even on a flat surface. The actual floor dimension was not as wide as advertised, although it fits two 6 footers comfortably.

Also, the fly leaked at several locations and had to be seam sealed. There are a number of tie backs and guy points along the seams that act as wicks. I found this out when it started dripping through the screen onto my face.
