Great Tent The best tent on the market at this price range. Withstood 30-40 mph gusts without any vibrations and increadibly warm considering all the mesh lining. I would totally recommend this tent for any level backpacker. Plenty of room for 2, a bit tight for 3 though, but for the wieght this tent is awesome. Vestibules are tiny, but plenty of room inside. I see rain being a small factor due to the rainfly geometry but not considerable since one can simply draw the vestibule down.

Tent footprints are great There is not much to say about the performance of a tent footprint, but since you asked . . . This footprint is great: it is the same size as the tent and protects the tent floor from abrasion. Getting a tent footprint is a great call because, down the road after years of use, you'll be glad to need only a new footprint rather than a whole new tent.

best tent ever It's super light, easy to set up, and breathes well. I've used mine about two dozen times in climates ranging from the rainy NW fall to the hot SW summer. When it's colder, I simply don't stake out the rainfly. Sure, that means a little bit more condensation, but the tent stays *warm*! In hot, arid areas, I leave the rainfly off completely and wake up to the warm sun on my face. It has problems in windy and rainy conditions; even if I set the tent up against the wind, if it changes directions, the rain might come through the rainfly. And yes, the zippers snag. However, for the price, weight, and roomieness, you can't beat this tent!
