Great all-around tent I've been using occasionally for the last few years. Packs down and sets up quickly. Light. Sturdy. Had to seamseal the rainfly. Everything worked great!
Had the tent in freak mid August storm with 30 to 40mph winds and multiple inches of rain then 2.5 inches of snow at 25 degrees and it held up with no leaks or issues.
Just received this tent. I set it up to make sure all equipment was there. I noticed it seemed smaller than described. REI website has it as 90x68. I measured the 90 is correct but the 68 is actually 65. On the Mountain Hardwear paperwork it's described as 90x66. So the REI website is inaccurate. The few inches is very noticeable.
