I have a North Face Mountain 35 and I think it a wonderful tent. It has withstood snow, sleet and driving rains. This tent is just about the equal to it. A climbing/hiking friend recently bought one and we took it to the White Mountains in February. For two it it incredibly roomy. It has two vestibules that are very spacious unlike many other tents that have a primary vestibule and sometimes worthless secondary. It is tall enough (although not as tall as the Mountain 35) to allow two people to sit up and play cards in comfort. It is much lighter to pack in than the Mountain 35 and just as bombproof. We experienced 45 mph sustained winds with gusts to 65 mph. And we slept like babies as were told when we came out that we had slept through the 65 mph winds. I have recommended this tent to two other people looking for four season tents, and I don't even own one. For the price this tent is hard to compete with.

This tent is incredible. Syl-nylon...more guy out points than you can shake a stick at. Huge inside and giant vestibules. I probably shouldn't say this but I bought this with Amazon Prime for 224.00 SHIPPED I love amazon 8-)

You can honestly fit 4 people and packs inside. It's too heavy to hike with so this onee's gonna be basecamp near the truck. I've hiked with 2 person 3 season tent in winter and we still had to split the fly and tent. It is durable and the doors are double lined. It seems tricky adjusting th fly as close to the bottom but it looks big enough.

The benefit of purchasing this tent, as someone who is considering purchasing this likely aware, is that the tent is a full 4 season tent. That means no little mesh covering that dust, snow, rain can get through. I purchased this for burning man which has epic dust storms to which almost all tents are battered and eventually left full of playa dirt. Not with this tent. Haven't taken it to ice yet, but as that is it's main purpose, I'm sure it will handle that job as well.
