Purchased the tent because on paper it ticked all the boxes. The tent is not too big but yet has very spacious living and sleeping areas. The headroom is great even for me (6' 3"). The sewn in ground sheet gives the tent a very comfy feel. First time out of the box two of us had the main tent up in 30 minutes. With practice this time could be reduced. The tent was dropped in about the same time and fitted very well in to the carrier bag as well as the additional footprint we purchased. Having used it only once so far I can't comment on any extreme weather conditions. The weather was fine 18-20 degrees and the biggest criticism I would have is the lack of full mesh doors making the tent unbearably hot even in this modest temperature. We could not open the doors due to wasps but equally the idea of a sewn in ground sheet was to keep any bugs out. Although the spec refers to a mesh door this is only a small mesh grid on the side door which lets in nowhere near enough air on a warm day. Unfortunately it has detracted from what on paper looks like a very good tent - I would have no hesitation in giving it top marks if it weren't for this.
