From REI:
"Consider the REI Hobitat your home away from home. This spacious campground tent offers a comfortable daytime refuge and a protective nighttime shelter. Rectangular floor plan uses space efficiently and comfortably sleeps 4, while peak height allows most campers to stand. UV-resistant awning-style polyester rainfly won't stretch when wet, ensuring a consistently taut pitch; weather-proofed door keeps weather from entering tent. 2 pagoda-style side poles provide usable interior volume; they also support and allow the awning to extend out over the doors, protecting the entries from the weather. Tension Truss architecture creates superior structural integrity and generous head room. Bound, cut-in floor creates a taut, water-resistant pitch. Large oval door and 3 windows have mesh for ventilation and an inside zip-up cover for privacy and weather protection; door tucks away into adjacent pocket. Abundant interior mesh pockets keep your tent organized and small items close at hand; hang loops located throughout tent. Convenient backpack-style carry bag organizes tent components and has extra space for the footprint; footprint sold separately. Includes 8 stakes, 4 guylines with tighteners and pole repair tube. Optional pole-supported vestibule is available and sold separately. Average minimum weight specification is based on tent, rainfly and poles only."

"I've spent a total of seven nights using this tent. Ventilation is good and usable space in the tent is essentially 100% as the walls are vertical and there is a tremendous amount of headroom. On my third day of camping thunderstorms started passing over at about 2 in the afternoon and did not let up till about 9 the next morning."

"My dad, two brothers, and I took this 4-man tent to Alaska last year for two weeks and it's coming along again this year. We played cards in it for a couple hours each night and it easily held 4-chairs and a small table. It has plenty of headroom and sets up easily and quickly, looks great too."

"This is my first "larger" size tent and I've really come to appreciate it. In the past I've used 3-4 person sized backpacking tents but now that the kids are getting older and we're doing more car camping, this tent really works.

I'm 6'3" and love the standing room."
