I bought this tent because I wanted something sturdy and windproof to handle the cold weather when winter overlanding through Death Valley and Mojave. The stitching and material are higher quality than I expected. The tent spikes are 7 in long and 3 rib metal which is better quality than you get with most tents. Everything was stitched very well and seem tape sealed without flaws. There are plenty of tie down locations and decent ventilation flaps on top for when you want it. The rain cover has velcro tabs on the inside to attach it to the poles for extra stability. I haven't had a chance to test it camping overnight but I am confident this tent will hold up well in the rain, wind and cold. The cover is thick enough to keep the warmth in and it goes all the way to the ground where you can spike it down to keep out crosswind. To lay four people in it they would have to snuggle closely but definitely a 1 - 3 max person tent. One person plus room for plenty of gear or two plus gear would be ok, three people you probably have to keep most the gear outside. It's not too heavy and it rolls up to about a 15 x 7 inch sack. One could definitely carry it back packing if you knew you were going into cold weather and we're just doing a hunting or fishing Basecamp. But it is definitely not an ultra-light tent for long distance or summer camping tent. The tent would be literally perfect if the spikes were 9 inches. In the sand or rocky terrain 7 inch spikes are too short. You need at least 9 to12 inch spikes to hold ground and still have enough on the surface keep the footings held down. Also If the velcro on the top vents went all the way across the vent opening allowing you to completely seal it down, this would be great. In a strong cold wind I like to seal up the side of the vent that faces the wind keep cold air from being pushed in. Follow up: 11/29/23: I've used this tent several times now in Nevada, Death Valley, and the Sierra's during the colder months. Temps down in the 20s with stiff winds. The tent has done very well. I've used several tents and have many. This tent is my go to tent now in the winter.
