I recently took this tent out for it's test run during a canoe camping trip in the New Jersey Pine Barrens in early November. Shortly after I put the tent up the skies opened up with heavy rain and wind. This foul weather continued through the night but the tent stood its ground with barely a ruffle in the wind. The vestibules kept my gear out of the weather and the innards of the tent offered plenty of room to sit up and hide out of the weather. Materials are heavy duty and the tent was easy to set up. I look forward to using it on many upcoming winter weather canoe camping trips.

My first time using the tent ended up being a trial by ice as we showed up to our campground at 4:30am only to find the road leading in wasn't plowed. We ended up hiking a bit (good thing we had our snowboarding gear) and setting up camp in three feet of snow. I started trying to stake but the ones provided are a little small and I didn't want to dig the snow out for each one so I opted to skip those and try just tying it up to the trees.

The setup was easy, did it by myself with a friend holding a flashlight and even with no stakes in place, the tent was sturdy, didn't move an inch and stayed dry other than a little frozen condensation inside the tent in the mornings, but that's probably because I didn't spend any time pulling out the storm shield as there was no precipitation, so I'll call it a user error not product flaw.

It says it sleeps 3, but I had 2 in my tent and I wouldn't have tried to cram a third person unless you're a couple sharing a sleeper. It's a good, roomy fit for 2 plus all your gear though, and that's pretty much what I expected.
