I bought this four season tent specifically for a trip to hike in Iceland. Although the tent kept me warm and dry, two of the pole connectors broke after the first use. One of them being at the Cross bar. I dislike that this tent does not have a vestibule. If I had not had access to tape, I would have had issues with the rain and temps. The design of the door is not very efficient. If you’re inside the tent and you unzip the door, it falls toward you, which in the morning means that you will have condensation in your tent or if it’s raining, the inside of your tent will get wet.
Even though that it’s a two man it’s more convenient to be as one man or woman is set up is super easy and it sheds water very good
I've owned and used this tent for 5 years now and it has been rock solid in all kinds of weather. I will say that I use it as a one person tent only - so I have plenty of storage space without the need for a vestibule. I've not had any durability concerns with this tent (whether it be the poles, zippers or fabric).
