Review by: big_red, 2007-01-12


OK a partner of mine has this tent and we have spent a lot of nights in it. Before I say anything else let me say that this tent was only used during midwinter climbs in the Alaska Range temps down to about -25F. I am 5'10 and my partner is 5'11 and we both fit in this tent without a problem. Minimal gear can come inside with you and our packs always had to sit outside. This tent is one of the warmest I've used and will stand up to anything. I NEVER doubted it's integrity in a storm (and most tents make me nervous when the weather gets bad.)

What it does:
-fit 2 big guys and their boots, clothes, and cooking gear with some room to move
-frost up in cold weather (my bag was not waterproof and almost always got wet)
-pitch and tear down easily in bad weather (you can pitch it from the inside which is wonderful in a bad storm)
-heat up wonderfully in the sun (ours is the dark green)

What it does NOT do:
-let any wind in
-want to go into it's stuffsack when it is below 0F
-let any light in
-break (this tent is durable!!)

So there it is...take into account I have never used this tent in warm weather, in the summer, or pretty much in decent weather at all.
