I have had this tent since 2003; it has just started to leak in 2007 from the ground sheet. It is easy and quick to erect and is less effort than most new tents on the market.
I used this tent to backpack around Britain it has done the Pennine Way, Coast to Coast, Peddars Way, Cumbrian Way, West Highland Way, and Norfolk coastal walk. I also have used it in deep snow, up mountains in the wild and on a weekly basis in my work. It is an excellent tent highly recommended above most modern ones of this price range.
I loved this tent, for when there are 2 people; you both have your own door and your own storage for boots and such outside the flysheet but inside the outer shell. This also gives you options for cooking too. There are 4 generous sized mesh pockets for torches and things you may need to store, two-way zips for ventilation.
Many People would argue that because you have to put the inner up first, it is not as good for protection in the rain, I disagree, It is a lightweight water resistant inner of which can be erected under trees. The outer is then clipped into place with six easy to use clips, and then you can place the tent where you want. You do not have to wrestle with small tubes fitting them onto short pegs!
The down side to this is the weight, it is not the heaviest and not the lightest of tents, but for the durability and ease of erecting and putting away, it is a good purchase.
