By B from CT on 06/19/2008 Pros: Comfortable, Easy to set up, Sturdy Best Uses: Backpacking, Beach, Car Camping, Hiking Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Well designed tent. As mentioned, this is NOT the convertible 3/4 season model, but in my opinion the "convertible" idae is a bit ludicrous: you end up with a heavy summer tent and a minimalist winter tent. Get one of each and they'll do the job much better.
This is a very nice, well-designed 3-season tent. The 3rd pole adds structural rigidity so you can use it in higher winds; the flip side is it does weigh a little more. Good fly coverage, spacious vestibules, many internal pockets, easily fit two people plus gear. Recommended.
Good tent, but not four-season model By Bo from Seattle WA on 01/03/2008 Pros: Comfortable, Easy to set up, Fly Works Well, Lightweight, Sturdy, Waterproof Best Uses: Backpacking, Hiking, Mountaineering Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I bought this tent last year, hoping it would be the 3/4 season Omega tent. Instead, it's a three-season version of the omega tent, lacking the removable panels for the bug fly and the internal structural guy loops. That said, no big deal. I've spent the night in this halfway up Rainier in a steady 30MPH wind and it held firm. The rain fly does snap a bit in a strong wind. In short, while not a true four-season tent, there are very few time when I would need the extra structure and insulation, and I don't mind saving the weight.
