Great 3-4 season tent
Yes , I recommend this product
Great tent for wind, rain, and snow. Unfortunately, during the third set up one of the pole sleeves displaced and went into the pole. Had to splint with tent stakes and tape. On return from our trip REI exchanged the tent no questions asked. Comes with 8 stakes but in heavy wind needs a couple more ( which I bought when buying the tent). Is warm in it with sun out and minimal wind.

We just returned from a 5 day trip into the BWCA. The tent was wonderful. Just what we needed. Thank you

Awesome!!! Bigger than I thought!
Light weight , lots of room for two an gear! I’m claustrophobic and needed more space. I wish they had a mesh door panel that you could unzip to use instead of all solid. The option of both would be great. But I say this is a keeper!
