Rob Athis is a good tent

Voted 4/5

with proper water proofing and the fctory taped seams no water has gotten yet and i spent 24 hours in it during a big rain storm while in the Adirondack Mountains of New York over the summer (06). I do wish that the fly had a window to see a little of whats going on outsideunzipping the two zippers is a little annoying and the vestabule could be bigger. But not a bad light tent for just over $100

tarolLove this tent!

Voted 5/5

I got it for $67 on eBay and have used it extensively this past year and I love it! No problems in the rain or wind and even after a night of heavy condensation it did well to keep my dry. And I didn't do any seam-sealing in addition to the factory-sealed seams. I love that it has a side entrance and plenty of room to sit up in.

The only thing I would change is put a zipper on the fly body so the smaller vestibule on the other side of the tent is accessible from the inside like the large vestibule is.
