Pros:

Cons:
Collects Condensation
Best Uses:
Backpacking, Car Camping, Hiking
Describe Yourself:
Avid Adventurer
What Is Your Gear Style:
Minimalist
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: The tent is very waterproof (went through a thunderstorm and tent was in a puddle of water, but no water came through. The tent is big enough for tall folks (partner is 6'4" and fit fine). The tent only comes with 7 stakes, would like to have had 10. The fly has a nice vestibule but the zippers get caught on the zipper flaps very easily. Also the fly has leaked in two places (where buckles were attached to roll it up). The leaks were minor and never dripped enough to even go inside the tent. The fly did get a lot of condensation on it but that only happened in a thunderstorm. It is great to have two doorways! I would buy it again.

What Is Your Gear Style:

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: A friend and I traveled cross-country with this tent for 2 weeks. We had some heavy rain (in Yellowstone), and some hot air (in the Badlands). The tent performed great. It's pretty roomy for two mid-size persons even if you are not very close. The only con is that it's too heavy, which limits its use for car-camping only. I have to buy a SD Lightning for backpacking trips.

Pros:
Comfortable, Easy to set up, Fly Works Well
Best Uses:
Backpacking, Car Camping, Hiking
Describe Yourself:
Casual/ Recreational
What Is Your Gear Style:
Minimalist
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I use this tent for motorcycle camping. I love the spacious interior. Good headroom and long on size. Great for tall folks and most of my gear. Best of all are the two doors. No more climbing over your partner to exit the tent. The fly works well and gives a great vestibule area. With the proper size poles, you can make it a sun "porch". It sets up easily with the clips and can withstand the wind once staked down. Sturdy, waterproof, warm yet lots of ventilation.
Need I say more....oh GREAT prices at STP!
Excellent backpacking tent for 2 people
By gripper from SLC on 1/25/2008
Pros:
Durable, Good Value, High Quality
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: It's not the lightest, smallest tent on the market, but in those respects it certainly is too bad either... It is super-easy to set up. It delivered excellent weather protection. And for me and my wife (average sized people, both) it proved to be quite roomy (pretty large floor space and head space). Our first trip with this tent was a week in the Wind Rivers of WY. We had a mix of warm nights, cold nights, light rain, and one night of with a steady downpour and high winds. The Delta performed in all situations. I'd recommend it highly.

Pros:
Durable, Good Value, High Quality, Roomy
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This is a great tent from a great company. I have had it for a year now and have been in some bad weather and never had the first problem. Great tent for the money.
By Stormson from Nashville, TN on 11/30/2007
Pros:
Durable, Good Value, High Quality
Best Uses:
Camping backpacking
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: An extremely well built tent. Been through 3 days of steady rain, not a drip. Heavy winds, no problem. A snap to set-up, always the first set-up at camp. Love the double doors, no crawling over one another at night. Fairly roomy, but the vestibule could be bigger. Not for ultralighters. My wife and I share it and split the load, so we don't mind. But if you want portable protection from the elements, it's right on.
