Completed a 17 day unsupported traverse of Auyuittuq National Park with 4 people; 3 all over 6'2". Plenty of room for 4, 3 having those wider sleeping pads. First day it took 4 of us to set it up and it withstood everything the wind could throw at it. Further into the park, while others tented near rocks or moraines for protection from the wind, we did not. Bomber tent! This tent stood out for rescue purposes as a glowing gold dome on the vast tundra while other brown tinged or gray tents blended right in. I worried about bears on this trip, river crossings but never did I ever have to worry about shelter; this tent gives you peace of mind.

I took this tent with me on a motorcycle trip from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, all the way down to Tierra del Fuego, Argentina—over 30,000 miles of adventure through every terrain and climate imaginable. From snow and freezing temps in Alaska and the Andes, to the scorching sun on the Bolivian salt flats, coastal winds in Patagonia, rainstorms in Colombia, and humid jungle conditions—this tent never let me down. It’s incredibly sturdy, easy to set up solo, and packs down compact. I pitched it on sand, salt, mud, rocky ground, high altitudes—you name it. It handled every weather condition I threw at it without a single failure. If you’re looking for a tough, reliable all-season tent that can truly go anywhere, this is it.

In my opinion this tent is AWESOME. REI really hit a home run with this shelter. I’ve had this tent for one year now and it is by far my best investment yet. I would definitely recommend this tent for both beginner and experienced campers. You will be protected from the elements no matter the situation. It Loves Cold Snowy Windy conditions.
