Bought tent and used to camp around Crater Lake and Lakeview, OR in cold weather. Slept first night with 3 of my kids and closed up everything to maintain warmth. Condensation wasn't too bad and everyone was cozy but not cramped. Used small vents on top while using the tent by myself. Fairly decent headroom for a backpacking tent. Provided stakes were of a higher quality than lower priced TNF products
