Fantastic tent
We got surprised by a serious thunderstorm that transformed into light snow at snow in Mammoth (it was supposed to be sunny and in the mid 50s). This tent kept us all dry and warm - we camped with our 5 and 9 years old. We didn't even have to use extra blankets when it started to snow at 6am, this tent has a great insulation. We bought this model (which by the way is very spacious for a 4 people tent), after loosing our high end old one in a wind storm in Death Valley NP. Now we feel like we can face any unexpected weather situation!
