Great tent! Sturdy construction, light, and very spacious. 42 square feet, light weight and freestanding. Holds up great to high winds and drenching down pours. Down pours as in you can't see more than five feet because the rains so thick downpours. Also holds good in the wind thanks to the Jacob's corner. I've had it out in up to 50+ mph winds and it doesn't budge. Great ventilation. Works good in the winter except that it's not as warm, and snow blows up under the fly and through the mesh, but otherwise a great tent. Sure they make tents now in 04' and 05' that are lighter than this one, but this one still has much more room than many of the other superlight tents. Another plus is that the fly is the bright yellow, so being bogged down in a storm isn't so depressing. Again great tent!
