Floor area of 37+7.5 sq. ft. Vestibule is small but enough to put boots+backpacks if it's raining. Can cook there also with lots of care.

I like the tent a lot mainly for its easiness to set-up, weight, quality of material, and feeling of sturdiness.However, I have't been yet with it under strong winds.

The pegs that come with it aren't great, as well as the guy lines aren't enough -- need to buy a few extra more.

The joints of the poles froze the last time I camped, as they had got water when I set the tent which froze hard during night. The solution will be to lubricate with thin oil or silicone type product, which will avoid that parts can freeze.

Two doors allow plenty of ventilation and help avoid moisture condensation inside. At 10F (-13C) I still had some ice inside the tent at sunrise, even though I left the mesh liners a bit open during the night. Either you open the liners all the way and gets colder inside the tent, or you deal with a little of condensation. I prefer the later.
