This tent does not seem to be worth its money. Although it has a large vestabule and lots of floor space the design of the tent just seems to not work well with the conditions that it is supposed to face. The stakes on it are very poor, they seem to be some stupid triangle shape that does not vork well for placing into snow. This tent sums up in five words, "I want my money back!"
