This tent is an older model, I think '97. I bought it brand new on the internet. I use this tent for four-season backpacking. the design and quality make this tent very dependable in rough weather. the tent is snug, but two backpackers can sleep comfortably, only there is not much room to move around and adjust when two people are in it. the tent is ideal for backpacking in three season to moderate winter weather. add a high grade sleeping bag and I'd say that this tent could handle a rough winter storm. the low profile and handy guylines make this tent bombproof.

one flaw I noticed was that the little window at the foot of the tent does not zip completely, there's about a 1/2 inch gap. this allows water to seep in when the fly is off, or condensation from the fly to leak in. this however is not much of a flaw compared to the overall protection and comfort it offers. Me and a buddy once woke up with snow all around us and the tent kept us warm and dry during the 5-hour storm.
