I have used the tent twice and while I like its room and ease of set up I have had some problems. Because the vestibule is so large you really have to stretch out to reach the zipper from inside the tent when the fly is closed. The second problem is that the storm flap over the zipper continues to get hung up in the zipper. I used the tent last weekend and was trapped because both zippers hung up. I finally wormed my way out under the fly. While I was trying to free the zipper I ripped a large hole in the fly where it had caught in the zipper. I took the fly back to REI who will send it to Sierra Designs. We will see what they do with it.

Anti-snag seam tape, like that used on sleeping bags next to the zipper, would reduce the snagging problem.
