Here's what other sites are saying:

From REI:
"One of the most durable and versatile multi-season convertible tents yet! Leave up to three parts behind during the summer months to minimize weight. Removable pole-supported vestibule with windows and adjustable vent offers large capacity storage; leave it behind to save weight. Vestibule pole is inserted on the outside for easier, more convenient setup. Removable mid-pole adds stability when needed; leave it behind when high winds or heavy snow won't be a factor. Removable, zip-in/-out frostliner panel adds extra protection in cold, windy conditions; leave it behind when the weather is warm for max ventilation. Without the multiple ''leave-behinds'' the weight will be a little over 5 pounds; excellent for a three-season, well-ventilated, freestanding tent. DAC FeatherliteĀ® SL pole set with exclusive hubs provides more strength for less weight; bracing used on all corners increases stability. Roof extension-pole supports rainfly eave over door; coated, weatherproof arch-style door has zip-open mesh upper panel. Rear vent allows improved cross ventilation. Insider floor seams are engineered to create a nice, clean, taut pitch and maximize floor space; factory-taped seams ensure a waterproof seal. REI-exclusive Cleat Lock provides tension for a taut pitch used on vestibule. Polyester rainfly ensures a taut pitch; fabric won't sag, even when wet. Rainfly rolls up and secures half-way open for extensive views to the outside; if the weather changes, it quickly and easily rolls down into place. Leak-proof rainfly construction ensures that water won't sneak through susceptible areas such as guy-out points and zippers. Upgraded DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment uses silicone for long-lasting weatherproofness. Attention to detail shows in the reflective guy-out points and zipper pulls. Footprint (sold separately) extends the life of your tent by protecting it from abrasive wear and tear. Really save weight by creating a minimalist shelter using rainfly, poles and footprint only. Includes stakes, guylines with tighteners, compression stuff sack, stake bag and pole bag. Average minimum weight specification is based on tent, frostliner panel, all poles, rainfly and vestibule. Overstock."

"Poles pack weird and cross pole doesn't fit well in grommets.

Tent held up extremely well this winter in the Utah Wasatch this winter. Two feet of snow fell on us overnight and we were warm, dry, and stable.

If anything it is more of a winter tent and not a "convertible" due to the very heavy fly."

"My husband and I purchased this tent when it first come out on the market. Boy was it a letdown. The main pole broke on us during a blizzard. During the 3 to 4 season conversion the inner zippers to the 4 season convert were so tight they broke.

I absolutely hate REI products."

"Love it. It's great against wind and rain which is my main criteria. I've used it for 6 years backpacking mostly, and camping in Virginia/West Virginia, so the climate is mild even in winter.

Vestibule is roomy. Poles are tricky, need to be careful with them, not that hard to break."

"I've had this tent for several seasons now. I have been rained on several times and stayed nice and dry. The large vestibule was a life saver. It meant I didn't have to store my things in the Jeep and get wet getting that one little forgotten item."

"Great piece of equipment. Works well with or without fly. Have used in rain, wind and light snow. Really nice on cool summer nights without fly -- light colored panels allow for bright interior. Roomy vestibule keeps boots dry."

"I've used this tent for a few trips now. Of course I take good care of it. Yes, I agree that it is not a tent for a young scout, but the tent has served me quite well in harsh condtions and not so harsh. I spent a very cold night at 9500 feet in Sequoia National Park with a snow pack of 5-6 feet on a Panther Ridge without any problems."

"I really like this tent even though one of the poles broke on me. I used it on a 5-day solo trip and found it quite strong and wind worthy. I put a pole in the wrong way and broke it. But otherwise, I really like the tent, it is light and seems quite good."

"Bad pole design. The poles have intersections that makes the poles hard to pack. The 3-4 season invert is bad too. The tent is hard to roll I'm just a tenderfoot scout at first class you can give me a hard time."

"This tent is billed as a 3-4 season tent. My experience is that it would be more suited to a 3 season-only tent and then only in a more temporate environment. My son practiced setting up the tent several times before actually taking the tent on a trip."

"Purchased tent used on eBay. Camped three nights in NM Gila wilderness in late September. Weather was really nice so did not get to test tent in rough conditions. There was some wind one night and it performed well. It was cozy for two people; a couple of inches wider would make it better for two adults."
