   I love how easy it is to set this tent up and that it has clips instead of sleeves and sturdy aluminum poles instead of fiberglass. It also has two doors and good ventilation. I took a chance having never heard of this brand but I am glad I did. The only con if you can call it one is it catches the wind easily but I solved this problem by placing large rocks at each corner.

   We were hoping this tent was the same design as their smaller version…only with the needed height. We found that the 2 door entryways are full screen and do not have the internal zippered extra window as we were expecting for the many nights of cold weather we camp in. This tent is strictly for summer months. Also, where the 2 poles meet at the top, there is nothing to secure them together…just the pole hooks on each side of the poles to attach the tent. ‘sigh’. We love the extra roominess…but would have loved to seen the same great design as it’s smaller version! We have high winds here and the tent definately sways in and out as the tent pole need to be more secured together…we had to use the tie strings for the first time EVER to secure the tent in higher winds. Love the extra sturdy zippers and it is well made material…just wish they would have made it sturdier and had the inner window flap for extra cold and wind protection.

   As a family of 6, with of those being under the age of 12 and unable to carry much of their own weight/supplies, it was a struggle to find a large enough tent that was also lightweight enough for long backpacking trips. We just purchased this and used it for the first time. The set up was super easy and quick for us 2 adults and we believe 2 of our older kids can probably do it next trip after watching us this first time. The tent itself was surprisingly roomy and comfortably fit all 6 of us and some of our gear without difficulty. During our first night in the tent, we experienced an unexpected wind storm and the tent withstood 35mph winds for almost 24 hours straight without problem once we tightened everything down once. We were pleasantly surprised with how the tent stood up during the storm. I cannot say enough about this tent and we look forward to using it again soon!
