This is a tent that is fantastic performance and price. It is very light, and sturdy compared to budget tents. The Aluminum poles are a good sturdy and give better support than fiberglass poles. This tent is very ventilated and made well. The only thing that is that I wish they could do is extent the nylon wall to prevent splash back when it is raining hard. Either than that the tent is great.
