Comments about Sierra Designs Wu Hu Annex 4 + 2 Tent:
We've been tenting for --- well, a very long time. Lately, we've been looking for the "perfect" tent for the two of us when we are boating & fishing rather than kayaking/camping. We tried a couple of other tents (a Cxxxxxn and a Exxxxa) and really were not happy with the characteristics of either. We finally selected Wu Hu 4+2. The things we really like about it are: it has been completely dry even though it rained 4 days the first time out with it; the inner "door" is zippered and provides a complete separation between the two rooms when closed (this was handy when the temperature dipped --- the closed door cuts the occupied portion nearly in half keeping the occupants warmer); set-up is quick and easy (even in a light rain; the fly is great (as is the optional footprint) and keeps the tent dry; ventilation is adequate, particularly if the vestibule zippers and center partition are open a bit; it is roomy (we use the smaller room as a very roomy entry and gear storage, and put a queen air mattress in the larger room as sleeping quarters; the smaller room is large enough for two others if needed; we can stand up straight almost anywhere near the centerline of the tent.
Only a few things we have noted so far that could possibly be better: condensate does form when its cold- always a trade-off between ventilation and warmth; a way to fasten the fly (vestibule) doors back (help to dry condensate in the morning; a few more loops, pockets shelves for storage off the floor; the biggest thing would be a way to open the vestibule door when going in or out without water running off the fly and into the tent--the design has the entries extending out under the vestibule door (you have to use a little care to pull/push the fly door outward so it doesn't fall in and drip water in the tent). All relatively minor items in my mind.
Summary: it really is better than 4 stars, just short of perfect. Love having a separate room that can be used as a screened entry, and a waterproof and sturdy tent.
