SuperSeal Floor™ combines the benefits of catenary and bathtub floors; raised side seams are taped for complete waterproofness. Swift Clips make tent setup fast and easy, particularly in high winds; ClipLock™ at pole intersection adds strength. Treated with Tent Guard with Ultra-Fresh to help prevent the growth of odor-causing fungus and mildew to extend tent's life; a SD exclusive! Stash Doors™ can be opened from the side or bottom and stashed out of the way in internal pockets. Color-coded webbing makes pitching this tent easier than making your bed! Reflective guyout loops allow night visibility; reflective noiseless zipper pulls are easy to see and eliminate that annoying jingle when it's windy.

"Superb tent! Spacious, easy set-up, lightweight and waterproof. This tent will be better if it has a bigger vestibule."

"I used this tent on a week-long camping trip in Utah where the wind gusted, and it rained and rained and rained. At first the tent got a little damp in the corners - then I wised up and guyed out all possible guy points as tightly as possible. The tent then stayed dry, even after a storm where the wind was so strong that the rain splashed up under the tent fly and the fly was pressed against the tent body."

"Great tent. Setup is a snap. I went through a night of rain without any leak or condensation. The tent was very stable in high wind. The best I like in this tent, is the ease of getting in and out. The large door, and the way how the door mesh unzips all the way, is a great feature."

"This tent operates flawlessly. I did nothing to prep it and have been dry as a bone through an all-night rain. I amazed my fellow backpackers as they sat under the tarp and watched as I tore down and packed this tent from inside the tent. OK, so I was under the rainfly as I packed up the tent then the footprint, then the poles while the rainfly covered my back."

"I love this tent. I can't say much more than that. It is super easy to set up. After putting in a twenty-seven mile day on the AT (in the rain), you don't want to end up wrestling your tent in the dark. The Gamma makes quick work of making camp."

"I have used this tent about five times. I did seam seal the fly and the perimeter of the bathtub floor. Went through an all night rain and had zero condensation. There is enough headroom to sit up comfortably. We easily fit two people (not a couple) and gear."
