I used this three-person tent for five-nights on the Main Salmon River, a trip that played out across 70 miles over six days with hot, dry weather.  Since we didn’t encounter any serious rain, the tent was mostly used to keep the bugs out while camping on sandy beaches each night.  Nighttime temperatures reached the mid 60s and daytime highs peaked in the mid 80s.

The tent was erected quickly with one or two people helping.  The asymmetrical design offers two doors, one on either side of the tapered floor.  We slept side-to-side with our feet at the narrower end of the 41.2-square-foot floor.  It slept two kids, one adult, and a dog very comfortably.  A fourth adult could squeeze in if rain was a problem, and the 49-inch interior height offers a good amount of space inside. The vestibules accommodated our packs and boots, but they weren’t overly spacious.  We did manage to unknowingly put a small hole in the floor and the mesh walls leading me to think that the fabric is not very strong.

On a second trip to the Mount Jefferson Wilderness in Oregon, three boys slept in it on a two-night backpacking trip.  It was very light and easy to carry.  The boys set up the tent the wrong way the first time, but then they switched the poles around and put it together quickly.  However, we found asymmetrical rain fly to be counter-intuitive; getting it on right was a challenge. We didn’t notice any condensation after a night when temps dipped into the mid 40s, in part thanks to the Velcro lift in the rainfly that opened up a vent in the top of boost ventilation.
