I've heard this is really not a 3 season tent. Anyone use it in cooler seasons? How'd that go?

I use mine year round, including winters in the Uintah mountains. It does hold up under snow and heavy winds. The only reason I wouldn't classify it as a 4 season tent is because it's not insulated. If you're worried about keeping heat in, a big tarp over the entire thing does a great job. Also, I have pitched another smaller tent inside before, but it's only good for sleeping and you lose a lot of area inside.

I'm not certain of the attributes of a 4 season tent but I believe this to be a 3 season. It is very lightweight with a partial mesh roof. It would be very drafty and cold. It needs the fly to be water resistant.

It's a very cool tent but I don't think it will withstand that much wind. At least I have not attempted to drive with it still on.

I have this tent and I have used it in the heat of a muggy FL summer. It does breath but not like having a non-canvas tent (I also have the Big House from Big Agnes). But if it's raining this tent is much more breathable than the other tents that have to have rain fly's on. it's really a trade off. I use this tent every single time I go camping if it's 90 degrees or 20 degrees. It's a great tent that is built like a tank and will last a lifetime. My advice... buy the tent and get a box fan to put in it during the summer.

It's a nice late spring to early fall tent! I love it, it's great for beach camping the front porch helps keep the sand out:)

The tent has plenty of screens and a roof vent that works well. I would not try to sleep in it with the vent not open all of the way or it will be stuffy. I found that with the roof vent open and the screens partially open it does fine in both summer and winter. The tent handles the rain without any leaks and is a breeze to setup even by yourself. I recommend putting a tarp underneath it to protect the floor from anything that might puncture it. The tent handles the wind really well and makes camping enjoyable by not having to fight with poles coming apart. Best tent for your money in my opinion!

Best tent ever...Easiest to put up and take down..I'm a 48 yr old woman and lived and camped in one all summer by myself. I thought it would end up being a rinky dink thing because of its ease but its GREAT> Perfect size. It did great in winds about 25...I did hook up the tie downs tho and staked them in good and tight..enjoy! (mine is orange tho?)

ProbAbly best for two season in colder climates. I always waterproof spray all my tents every year, doesn't matter how much you paid for one. *For the money it's a great little tent but if you want a superior tent you will have to shell out. I use this for short biking trips in summer only.

It's pretty well ventilated. I used it on the beach in Florida in August and it was a heck of a lot cooler inside the tent than laying directly in the sun. I mean, it doesn't feel like you've got A/C pumping through it but the ventilation gives you a nice breeze.

It's a 3 season tent. I have used it in temps between 40 and 80 degrees. It does fine in the wind and rain . The roof is well ventilated ; however, it isn't sturdy enough to support the weight of snow accumulation.

Hello. We put ours in a 2-seasons room. It appears to be holding up fine with the cold weather. Our weather fluctuates here, so we won't see until this summer how it does with the humidity. Overall, very pleased. My family has spent many hours now trying to beat our 11 year old without success.

I have no experience with specific four season tents, but I would not classify it as such. I've spent some chilly nights in it. Good three season tent for sure, though.

The first year (2013) it was difficult to install the canopy but I managed. I took it off for the winter to keep the frame from collapsing due to heavy snow as happened to the previous tent. It ripped a little in one corner during removal. The second year (2014) it ripped further in that corner. This is my 2nd tent of this type. The first tent was made slightly different and the canopy was larger and of better quality. I was able to put in on and take it off more easily than this one. I don't think you're doing anything wrong. The canopy is undersized.

Certainly! I use the tent as a 3.5 season tent. It gas performed very well for me, on rain, in snow, in hit humid conditions and in temps in the upper teens/ low 20s.

I would say three-season. It's a great tent, but I wouldn't want to use it at below-freezing temperatures.
