The only reason this review isn't 100% is I'm not sure I like the vent feature. My wife and I just got back from our first camping trip of the season as well as first use of the tent. The nights were in the high 40s and I did everything I could to retain the heat in the tent, but the winds were fairly steady all night, so most of my efforts to stay warm were limited. I did lay logs along the vent edge to keep it closed to prevent the wind from removing what little body heat we could generate. I'll be interested to see how this tent performs in warmer/hot weather.

All-in-all, this tent was everything it was advertised to be. It's sturdy, it IS easy to pitch and strike, and, as we inadvertently discovered, well ventilated. We look forward to future camping trips with this fine tent.

I highly recommend this tent to those who enjoy car camping.
