Here's what other sites are saying:

From REI:
"REI's most popular four-person backpacking tent, the Half Dome HC, provides a spacious interior and a simple, fast setup. Hub/combi (HC) pole design combines variable-diameter poles and a center hub/pole attachment. Variable pole diameters cause poles to flex in such a way that creates greater interior space around shoulders and head. Hub and poles never need to be separated and hub/pole design adds stability at their connection point. Quick and easy setup; simply hook center of tent to hub, attach poles at tent corners and clip tent to poles. DAC Featherlite® poles offer a high strength-to-weight ratio and use extruded construction instead of glued inserts to reduce chance of breakage. Nine-section shockcorded poles break down to fit easily in your backpack. Two doors and vestibules for super-convenient entry/exit and separate storage areas. Insider floor seams are engineered to create a nice, clean taut pitch and maximize floor space; factory seam-taping ensure a waterproof seal. Large D-shaped doors with no-see-um mesh panels and no-see-um mesh front and rear windows allow cross-ventilation, preventing condensation. Tent stays organized with the attic (included) and four interior pockets. Full-coverage, factory-sealed, UV-resistant, taut polyester rainfly protects the tent; two roof vents allow excellent airflow to prevent condensation. Nicely placed clear film window in rainfly is the perfect size to view the weather conditions from inside tent. Leak-proof rainfly construction ensures that water won't sneak through susceptible areas such as guy-out points and zippers in wet conditions. Attention to detail shows in the reflective guy points and adjustable cleat-lock tie-downs on the rainfly. Footprint (sold separately) extends the life of your tent by protecting it from abrasive wear and tear. Save weight by creating a minimalist shelter using rainfly, poles and footprint only."

"Our first outing in this tents included a night of 2" of rain. This was near crek in the eastern mountians of georgia. The tent performed well with some condensation on the inside from 2 adults and a child forming. It had vents at the top which we di not use during the night but could have."
