Comments about NEMO Frontier 3P Tent:
Where do I begin? I really wanted to like this tent. I thought with one pole and a few stakes it would be a great river camping tent; it wasn't. Required twice as many stakes as included and never could get it taught enough on the gravel bar, plus the corners were not usable. Condensation was an issue with one person, more than my single wall MSR Skinny Two. Plus, one small pocket is all we could find.
Second time I used it, I tried some inventive staking to make some space in the corners since there would be two of us. Didn't do much good, though, still a lot of wasted "Footprint" space. Condensation atrocious with vents and vestibule partially open. Then, to make matters worse, it LEAKED. I used the included seam sealer and still it leaked as bad as a cheap discount store tent!
The only "Positives" out of this experience is my dealings with REI. I've always had good luck and good service with REI, but don't believe I ever returned anything? They were super! Curt, the representative whom had to listen to my complaints, was probably one of the best customer service representatives I've ever dealt with. I've always associated superlative products and service with REI, but they really made this painful tent experience palatable!

Comments about NEMO Frontier 3P Tent:
This tent is great for a quick setup on a late Friday night with plenty of room. Almost perfect, maybe a 4.5 rating.
It is quick to set up but needs to be staked out. It has a large footprint, but if you have room, it goes up faster than any of my other tents. It can be guyed out to provide more interior room. Sleeps two adults spaciously without guying or a a family of four can do fine if guyed out.
I have used this product a few times on 30-45 degree nights with 2-3 people. Condensation was an issue once, but has not been an issue if the side vents and rear wall are guyed out. I put refective string on the guyouts to keep thru traffic from tripping.
All in all a great product like my other Nemo product (a 12x12 Bugout shelter).
