Designed to be a weather protection tent, ALPS Mountaineering used a high-quality material for each canopy, rainfly, and floor to guarantee you get the best protection while camping in the cold weather. Besides that, it also will make you comfortable resting inside as it also comes with 8 zippers mesh storage pockets that you can use to store your things, then you can sleep inside without getting bothered by messed gear.

Intuitive assembly, lots of gear pockets, top vents, kept me dry over snow with rain, sleet, hail, and snow, with powerful gusts for 3 days. Kept one top vent open whole time, not a drop in tent. Packs back up with room to spare if you know how to roll up a tent. The vestibule poles are a pain at first, must be pushed through slowly, it takes some patience, but honestly its hardly a deal breaker. Slept 2 adults and my 8 year old, with backpacks. Not much room to spare, perfect for 2 adults and gear. ...

Give thanks to the reflective trims and detailing that will not make you confused about finding your tent at night or on such a dark day while you leave your tent for a while. Don’t worry, this tent designed with a full-coverage polyester rainfly which is great to use for cold weather. Oh, not only that, but the rainfly also works to prevent UV rays to come inside if you use it for summer camping. What’s more, this tent also designed with 2 roof vents plus a low side vent create “chimney effect” ventilation, so you will get excellent air circulation inside.

Great tent! Took it out for beach camping and it withstood the sea breeze and was warm on cool nights. It was roomy and completely comfortable for a family of four. On the second trip it withstood the cold, high speed, high desert winds of Joshua Tree National Park. The heavy duty construction and tent stakes were very much appreciated!
