I have owned this tent for a few months now and all I can say is THIS TENT ROCKS! I have used it on a few trips where it poured rain for days at a time and I had no leaks anywhere (don't forget to seal your seams before you take any new tent camping of course). It has enough space for my girlfriend, my dog, me and all of our gear inside (backpacks, sleeping pads, sleeping bags, etc.). We all fit comfortably with a bit of room to spare so we aren't crammed in together like sardines. The two reasons I bought it was because it was large enough for everything I listed above and it weighs less than 9lbs! I'm not a very lightweight/minimalist backpacker so I don't mind carrying the whole tent setup in my pack but it splits pretty evenly between 2 people. The walls and floor of this tent are very lightweight and seems fragile to the touch but I have not had any problems with rips or tears even when setting up on rocks, hard dirt and wooded areas. The only thing I would like to have on this tent is a vestibule just in case I actually had 4 adults sleeping in the tent. Other than this I am very satisfied with the space, weight and durability of this tent.
