Ease of Setup: 2 out of 5 - fussy poles, hard to get fly on in wind.
Weight: Tons
Price Paid: $475

This is a very rigid HEAVY - WET - tent that takes a really big packed down spot of snow. The vestibule is huge but fills up with snow if you vent the tent. In a warm storm the non-vestibule end gets wet because if the outer door is open for venting the snow comes in on the inner tent and melts through onto your sleeping bag -- worse in a rain. In cold still nights you'd think "A river runs though it". Nice for summer camping with my wife instead of a "family tent" though.

I have been in two winter storms where I was happy to have it though, even with its problems it is quiet in wind, no flapping. Most often used with a sled so the weight is no problem, but I prefer my Bibler El Dorado. Like most two layer tents it can have really bad condensation problems.
