Design Failure
No, I do not recommend this product
I can't understand how TNF can continue to sell this tent. While it's nice for dry weather, there is a serious design flaw. The tent collects water in pools on top. I found this to be the case with both the 3 and 4 person models. Will be trying to return both.

Great tents great value
Yes , I recommend this product
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.

Struggles in the rain
No, I do not recommend this product
Love the spacious design. But water pools at each low spot on the roof, due to near flat pitch design. Seams are also leaking on second season of use.
