This is an exceptional tent that is extraordinarily bombproof. I spent 35 days last summer in the Alaska backcountry in this tent. It held up beautifully! It holds three people and gear nicely, and makes a suite at the ritz for two. The setup is incredibly fast for a tent of this size. My only complaints are that the tent only has one door, and the rainfly could be slightly more taut.
