Pros:
Comfortable, Easy to set up, Fly Works Well, Sturdy, Waterproof
Best Uses:
Beach, Car Camping
Describe Yourself:
Casual/ Recreational
What Is Your Gear Style:
Comfort Driven
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I just received the tent and did a test pitch out in the backyard. I am very impressed with the ease of setup and the quality of materials. The poles appear to be very sturdy and the smooth machining on the ends make slipping the poles through the sleeves very easy with out any snags. I was able to easlily pitch the tent on the first try without any help. I chose this tent for it's apparent quality and for the interior dimensions, particularly the height. I am 6'2" with a bad back. I could stand slightly leaning over with minimal discomfort. The door is also a generous size and is easy to pass thru without too much back pain. I will be using this tent for car camping and as such the weight is not an issue.
Make sure you know the model year

This is an excellent tent. There are significant differences between the 2007 and 2008 models, including a second door in the 2008 model that make better ease of access and ventilation control.
I didn't realize this and received the 2007 model and am disappointed that I didn't get the features listed on the site.
By exminimalist from upstate NY on 6/1/2008
Pros:
Comfortable, Easy to set up, Great ventilation
Describe Yourself:
Casual/ Recreational
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: We (family of 4 with little kids) used this tent only once, in cool, good wheather, so it is still under test, but it is the roomiest (height), best ventilated tent I ever used (mesh stripe at about 10" from floor, and mesh dome create a pleasent flow). Easy set up but still needed two people. I agree with another comment on the fly being a little short. Plenty of pockets,inside details, and fly covered "porch" for my needs. I used to be minimalist, but moving into a little more comfort driven.

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I set this up in minutes by myself (I'm female); only two main poles. Super roomy inside with lots of compartments for stuff. Without the fly, top is just screen so you can see the sky. Super sturdy and secure seams.

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Bought this to add to the collection of camping gear. Since our other tent is a lightweight two person tent we got this for car camping because it accommodates a queen size air mattress. This tent is a breeze to set up and is less bulky than other car camping tents. Highly recommended.
