I have slept in this tent approximately 75 nights and so far everything is holding up very well. This tent is large enough for three people, yet light enough that I carry it on solo trips. I love the EPIC fabric and have been pleased with it's performance in the rain, though it does drip through the seams after long downpours. The tent does come with seam-seal, so I'm sure that would take care of the dripping.

One strange thing about the tent is that you sometimes have to get inside before it is pitched to get the poles in the right spot. This probably looks pretty strange to the campers at the site next to you. The mesh is extremely strong and although there are a few minor tears in the mesh, they are pretty small so I am not concerned. I have been very happy with this tent in summer conditions and camping in the snow. One strange thing is that there is a vent that cannot be closed. I am not sure how this would work out if you were camping in a snowstorm as it seems like snow could blow right in. The floor of the tent is among the strongest I have used. Overall, it has been a great tent.
