Comments about MSR Fury 2 HP Tent:
I've used this tent for fives days in very different environments. The first two days the Fury performed flawlessly in gusty mountain winds and moderate sleet/snowfall of the Cucamonga Wilderness, CA; all without guy outs. The next three days were spent in the warm wind-swept Joshua Tree desert. All throughout, my GF and I were very comfortable and confident in the sturdiness of our new tent. Set up is relatively easy with two people but one must have a bit of muscle to set the pole tips into the grommets. We stayed warm and dry in this tent and hardly noticed the wind and sleet that warped other tents in our group. I've done a ton of comparison shopping for a 2 person 4 season tent and for overall weight, interior floorspace, and peak height, this tent is a winner when compared to other popular tents in this class. Ventilation in the tent was great. Through the storm there was very little condensation that had collected on the inside of the tent on the sills; but that can't be avoided in any tent. The windows open up wide and the fly is super easy to attach and remove with the buckle type connectors.

Comments about MSR Fury 2 HP Tent:
I bought this tent for a winter camping trip to Taos New Mexico. Recently took it into the Ventana Wilderness Big Sur.
Pros:
The MSR Fury an original MOSS design, sold to REI, then Mountain Safety Research, stands steadfast against high winds, torrential rain, and snow. It has excellent ventilation keeping condensation down to nearly non existent and is completely water/snow proof. Excellent at retaining heat inside of tent. The new fast pack stuff bag is just that, in minutes your on your way. For a solo backpacker willing to carry the extra weight this is the ultimate in luxury cold weather comfort.
Cons:
A bit heavy for solo backpacking.
Footprint does not attach to tent poles via grommets and must be staked out separately due to the new pole/sleeve design.
Difficult to insert poles into sleeves and grommets when wearing gloves or your fingers are cold. You have to buy the rain fly guideline kit separately. The Fury is too warm for summer use.

Comments about MSR Fury 2 HP Tent:
I've used the earlier version of this tent for several winter camping trips oiver the last 4 years, with conditions being 4000' elevation, 2-12' of snow, and temperatures down to 13 below zero. Like all 4 season tents, it's on the heavy side and is tougher to set up than a lightweight 3 season tent. Once it's set up, it's very tight and reliable. I looked at some other tents like the North Face Mountain 25 and liked this one a little more (the 25 seemed to require too many guy lines). The main thing I don't like is that it's very tight to get the poles into the grommets (especially while wearing gloves), but that's what it takes to make it windproof.
