By Cascadian Turtle from Olympia, WA on 07/31/2008 Pros: Easy To Set Up, Sturdy, Waterproof Best Uses: Beach, Car Camping, Kayak Camping, kayaking, Mountaineering Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I wrote a review of a '95 Tiros that was glowing and I always knew that I would replace this tent with another Tiros. I am glad I did because it got even better. How? Lighter Polls. Larger Vestubule. Two doors rather than just a small venting side. Quick Fly fastning to polls. Better Stakes. Higher Tub Floor. Taped Seams. Great storage inside. 40 sq. ft. This is one of those instances when something was actually improved upon with time. Great tent, looking forward to another dozen years with my new Tiros.

Good for car camping, but heavy for backpacker. Very sturdy and water proof. Better to keep only net door closed, otherwise it is easy to collect condensation.

Impervious to wind, rain, snow. A little heavy for summer backpacking but the footprint-fly combination is great for going light (if you can find the footprint). Large vestibule great for equipment or cooking. Plenty of internal storage options.

By Chris from Maryland on 04/11/2008 Pros: Fly Works Well, Waterproof Best Uses: Backpacking, Mountaineering Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: The first time I set up this tent, the poles barely went in. With a little more practice it has gotten easier, but the fabric is still incredibly tight, which should help it to handle wind without any problem. The tent is very sturdy, and is well-suited to being used without the fly as a mild-weather tent (or using only the fly). It is heavy for a backpacking tent, but depending on the conditions you typically face, it could well be worth it.

By Steve BackCountryTrails 93 from San Jose Ca on 01/12/2008 Pros: Comfortable, Easy to set up, Fly Works Well, Sturdy, Waterproof Best Uses: Backpacking, Beach, Car Camping, Hiking, Mountaineering Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I bought the first series of this tent when hit the market back in the 1990's. I never looked back or ever considered another tent it is truly a bombshell tent. I use to work for the Forrest Service and used this tent versus the tents they offered to wilderness employees I am glad I did. Once on Mount Whitney got caught in a 70 mile wind storm and this tent performed just as it was meant to. When fully guild down this tent does not move . I have had it in severe Eastern Sierra Thunder Storms with torrential rain as well as freak blizzards in June that dumped 2 feet in hour and a half. Even in those times I felt no worries of the tent failing. What more can I say Best Tent Ever Made and SD has come out with a new Stretch Tiros 2 it is one pound lighter and you lose 2 square feet but same Bombshell design.
