I've had this Tent a couple of years now, but never used it on a longer trip or in bad weather. My recent Austria trip was a good test for the tent, due to the varying weather conditions across the multiple nights of Camping.

In the heat, the Ventilation at the Front & rear allow a breeze to pass through the tent and keep it cool. Whilst the skirt of the tent can be adjusted to increase, or decrease the gap to allow more air flow. The only downside for me is the inner door only has a partial net area, in the top portion of the door. I'd like this to be at least half way, or the full door for even better ventilation & cooling.
In the wet (and by wet i mean 12+ hours of Rain and multiple Thunderstorms) it performed superbly. No leaks at all either on the Flysheet or the Floor of the inner tent. The Flysheet stayed taught, didn't pool any water and kept the rain out all night long.

The Tent is an outer up first, and is a tension tent - which uses the fly sheet pegged down to keep its shape. It's a really easy tent to put up with only 3 poles. These have are a capped/blocked end - meaning only one end to connect and no faffing around trying to get the ends equal length to fit into the flysheet. It has 7 guy lines (option to add an 8th) which really help to keep it stable in windy conditions, and keep the flysheet taught.
The vestibule/porch is plenty big enough to store gear, and get in/out the tent with ease. A sheltered place to cook (at the door entrance) if the weather is a bit nasty outside. Or even to spend some time, rather than being inside the tent.
The inner tent is a good size, with only a very slim taper towards the foot end. Allowing plenty of space for gear & sleeping set up. As there is a good 4" of room between the outer & inner you have plenty of room to sit up, and not worry about catching any condensation.

Really happy with this Tent, and will probably be my go to for my trips in the Future.
