Perks
The tent boasts a roomy interior that can fit eight people in a pinch, but is very comfortable for four or five. The ventilation is excellent and the floor's waterproofing makes a ground sheet unnecessary. The shock-corded poles set up quickly and are easily replaced. The two-room design is useful for dedicating one side to storage or younger campers.
Sacrifices
The packed weight of the tent makes is virtually useless for any camping that involves hiking. The eaves of the rain fly catch wind in heavy weather. The waterproofing is adequate for light rain, but not for anything worse.

Heavy and clunky, the cons of this tent do not outweigh the pros of the size and ease of set up. Other, similarly priced tents are more reliable in poor weather.
