I've had this tent for 9 years so I thought I should write a review. It has not had heavy use but has probably been set up 50+ times at this point in 6 different states. I appreciate the ventilation and easy setup. Most of the time I don't bother with the rainfly. When I was walking across the United States I would roll up the fly and use it as a pillow. Occasionally the ends of the poles pop out but it is only a slight inconvenience to reattach them. The floor is showing some wear but as much as I like to buy this new toy again mine still has several more nights left in her.

I love this tent. Without the rain fly, arguably one of the most ventilated tents on the market, outside of a screen shelter. As with most tents on the market, if you are going to fit 3 adults, you must really like your other two tent mates (and all must have excellent podiatric hygiene, as someone is sleeping between 4 feet). However, it sleeps myself, my 8 year old son and 22 lb. mini Aussie in comfort. Very thoughtful design with the double entry/double vestibule, no stepping on your party when nature calls in the middle of the night. The storage compartments are also quite roomy and well placed. One thing I would change, mark the price up just a bit and include the footprint as they greatly extend the life of the floor. I have no real complaints relating to the Alps Mountaineering Chaos 3, in fact, the highest praise I can give is to say that I would definitely purchase it again. Right on Alps!

Good tent at a good price! Bought it for my two scouts to use but it fit all three of us with overnight packs comfortably in the backyard, car camping and backpacking. Footwear left in the vestibules, of course. No issues, and it usually rains at least once on each of our camping trips.
