Setup
: Really easy. Footprint clips onto tent through patented Jake's feet clips. Poles insert and fit great.

Stability: Does very well in non-extreme weather. I've used it in 4 seasons and it has been great. 

Weather resistance: Fly hangs really low keeping all weather out. 

Ventilation: Does pretty well. Has minimal condensation.

Room and storage: Has 4 double compartment personal pockets and 2 wall mesh pockets.

Packability:  Has a handled tote bag.

Ease of use: Very easy and intuitive. You do have to bend some poles to get them into their corresponding holes. 

Features: Two large vestibules, double doors, Jake's feet.

Construction and durability: Been using it for three years now and it still looks great. I've used it in rain and light snow, but don't yet know how it would hold up in heavy snow.
