From Moosejaw:
"On Sale. Free Shipping. Sierra Designs Assailant 1 Person Tent (Fall 2009) Whatever the call, the Assailant Tent by Sierra Designs delivers a reliable one-man (two in a pinch!) shelter in the most adverse conditions. Waterproof-breathable Drizone fabric sheds ferocious wind, incessant downpours, and blowing snow. The pole configuration strengthens the Assailant, crossing in the rear of the tent to stabilize the shelter even in 70-plus mph winds. At 93 inches long, the Assailant houses an NBA center, with gear, too. Functional vents keep air moving, even if you're battened down in heinous conditions. Alpine climbers or ambitious Winter ski tours mean a lightweight back-up plan, and the Assailant should be yours. Specs Trail Weight: 3 lbs 3 oz Packed Weight: 3 lbs 11 oz Packed Size: 21in. x 5.5in.

"This tent is the biggest piece of garbage inflicted on a trekker. I took it to Colombia and Venezuela alpine areas in February/March 2009 and it failed dismally.

Condensation big time and leaking big time. Also, the poor design saw hail stones unable to fall from the surface.

This tent is a BIG heap of garbage. Four season? Oh please."

"I just ordered this tent and am returning it without using it for two reasons:

1. You cannot sit up inside the tent (I am a 5'8" woman)
2. Where the exterior poles cross prevents captures any snow that might fall on your tent. So, you would either have to get out of the tent now and then to sweep snow off or risk collapse."
