This tent is perfect for two people. its floor dimensions are larger than some 3 person tents. the tent stand up to its mountain hardwear reputation. The two doors make it possible to ventilate the tent in hot and humid conditions (better than most 4 season tents) The vestibules are huge! Enough for two packs and a "camp kitchen" in the front and boots and other misc. gear in the back. the only complaint I have is that its heavy, at about 10 lbs this isnt a tent you would want to backpack solo with. However, splitting the poles, guylines, and stakes to one person and the tent body and fly to the other makes it very managable. Overall if your looking for a TWO person bombproof roomy tent for anything from hiking to mountaineering this would be a perfect choice.
