I bought this tent in spring of 2011. I have used it many, many times and have put it through the wringer. Guiding trips throughout midwest and southwest and moving to Alaska and using extensively. I've never had a problem with zippers, tears, poles, etc. This tent has never failed me. Accomodates two plus a dog (I'm 6'6"), enough for sleeping, wouldn't call it spacious but it certainly does the job. Light enough to stuff down you and your partners packs to go just about anywhere. Grab a footprint that will fit and leave the tent behind for a fly-shelter, or leave the fly and enjoy the full mesh for clear nights. As the title states, 9 years. Still going. Find another for the price that will give you that. Enough said.

Got this tent for Christmas last year. Have taken it on a few backpacking trips and love it!

The last trip was with my wife and 3 year old. We all slept cozily inside even as it thunderstormed all night! Was impressed at how dry everything stayed and had no issues. Highly recommended.

A buddy has an REI 2 person and watched me set this up in half the time it took him.

I have been a wilderness junkie for over four decades. This is a lightweight and very durable tent. My kids and I have rode out some bad storms in this tent and it has held up perfectly. It states 2 person but one adult plus two younger children works fine for us. The fly covers almost to the ground so no rain soaks through the sides. The two vestibules offer plenty of room for gear to stay outside without getting wet. I highly recommend the Zephyr series of tents.
