"The second time I took this tent out, the "60% chance of scattered thunderstorms overnight" turned into nine hours of relentless rain and wind.

"The tent is heavy, but to be expected with a 3 person. Not the greatest quality materials, tent walls are thin. No footprint available, I had to make one. Not a lot of gear space, small vestibules. Angled walls make 3 people feel very cramped.

"This tent is a GREAT tent for the price. I purchased this tent after a lot of research and discovered that you're not going to get as much sq. footage on any other 3 person tent as well as two vestibules at a reaonably light weight.
