This is the best tent I have ever owned, hands down. Sierra Designs' construction quality is second to none in my opinion. They have managed to improve upon the only complaint that I ever had about the Tiros I, that being the small vestibule for an expedition tent. The Tiros Expedition's vestibule sports a support pole and is 11.75 square feet!

This thing is bomber. I was unbelievably impressed with the ease of setup, exactly the same as my Clip Flashlight (swiftclips). The clips are really easy to attach with heavy gloves on, and the dual clips at the pole junctions apparently increase the tents load capacity by 150%. It feels totally stable in very high winds and the dual tunnel vents in the fly are really handy. I actually like putting the vestibule over the smaller rear door and using the main door as the entrance so you don't have to climb over packs and other gear. The small footprint (91x58) is ideal for those small spots. Excellent tent overall.
