I purchased this tent to have some extra room when camping with my dog. It’s roomy enough for the rei self inflating pad gear and my dogs sleeping bag. The standout feature is the rainfly. If you have trekking poles or anything else that will work like them you can have a little bit of an awning. This works for both sides and it is designed so you can leave the doors on the rainfly open halfway which is great if it’s raining and you still want good ventilation. It handled a heavy rain storm with wind great. There were no leaks. I didn’t have any issues with condensation either. When using the rainfly doors as an awning it was big enough for a chair which was great during light rain. Overall this is a great tent and the one I use for weekend camping with my dog.
Pretty easy to setup and take down. Only down side is default zipper postion is low enough that skunks can open it, also the rainfly zipper gets stuck, like all the time.
