How many seasons is this tent designed for?

I have peen better insulated ones for winter, so I'd say it's a 3 season tent. Be sure to get yourself a properly rated sleeping bag.

I am not aware of tents being designed for a "temperature range"?? My understanding is that a multi-season tent is designed to resist high winds, snow, heavy rains or extreme heat. I would say that this is a bivvy rather than a tent and is therefore already a compromise in providing shelter from the elements - you buy it because it is light weight and compact. I have used it in the summer, where there were bugs/mosquitos and where it rained. It is possible to ventilate well by unzipping the outer shell and relying on the netting. But you cant really do this when its raining. There is a small vent but it just stops you from suffocating not sweating it out....and in that respect it is not very breathable so I had a lot of condensation build up inside the tent. It does keep the rain out and I imagine it would also be fine if snow fell on it....but thats were you depend on the "temperature range" of your sleeping bag. For me, I plan to erect a small tarp over the tent next season and might eventually just move to this in conjunction with a sleeping bag that matches the conditions.

I would consider it a 3 season tent. I've camped with it in the mountains of Colorado in late fall, temps in the low 30s at night. I was comfortable with a 20 degree sleeping bag.may not be heavy duty enough for snow loads. Very good waterproofing too.

I use this tent for commercial use actually. I run a food tent and the LED lights work the best. We set our first tent up at least 80 times through all kinds of weather before the frame finally gave. In my opinion, 80 set ups is a lot for a tent of this grade, for sure not the intention. We bought our second one a few weeks back. Would highly recommend this this tent.

I've had mine for a little over a year. My son and I live in it each summer. It's been up at least 90 days and nights since we bought it. We are very happy with the tent. I substitute an adjustable pole on one side of the shade canopy so it will shed water. My tent has gotten some tiny holes from tree branches, but those patched up very well.

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.

I've been using this tent for about a year. The other person was right that tent ratings are always optimistic. Realistically, I consider it a 4 person tent.

You should look for a 4 season tent if you plan to camp in winter storms. Not sure id recommend this tent for any precipitation other than rain and winds <15mph.

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!

I recommend buying a tarp and cutting it to the size of the base of the tent, cheaper, easier and lighter. I've used this tent 32 times to date and in every weather including high winds. Can't go wrong with this as a solo tent.

yes a lot of wasted space at top, but you wont find a better tent for STRONG winded bad weather! For two people it is actually very comfortable.

I am not sure if you are just putting this up for an event or keeping it up for an extended period of time. If it is just for an event, then I would use sand bags tied to the bottom of each of the poles. I live in Vancouver, Wa near the Gorge and we get High winds about 4 to 5 times during the year, and my canopy is set up year round and acts as another room off my patio, and we have the canopy bolted to the house in several places on one side of the canopy and several steal stakes in the ground on the other side where we taped the poles to the stakes. It has servived 2 springs one summer, and a winter. I am very happy with this one, and over the years we have tried several other canopies. Hope the sand bag idea is helpful, dress them up if this is for an important event. 20 lbs per pole is my suggestion. GOOD-LUCK !!!!

I, myself, would consider this a 3 season. Extremely easy to setup. Mostly mesh top before throwing on rain guard. I'm 6'2" and this tents fits myself and 2 others comfortably with gear..

Hello. There is no fly available. I had to double soak it with a water wicking spray. Also during expectations of heavy downpour I cover it with a tarp as just about any tent would need to be. I wasn't impressed at all with this tent. It is clearly not a 4 season tent. Well it is IF a season doesn't have wind driven sheets of rain. It does well in snow however. Summers are hot without use of a tent fan. Just my two cents worth

I am not sure and as we live in ND and it is cold outside and our canopy is in a storage building right now, I cannot tell you. I will say that we used our canopy for 7 days at the fair this summer and every day we had violent thunderstorms with very severe wind. It stood up to all that mother nature could throw at it and came away still looking brand new. The only thing we did was put heavy sandbags on every leg and stake it down very securely. I would buy it again!

We don't know. We would like to know that also. I truly hope they do NOT discontinue this style. It would also be great in 10x14 and 10x12. I particularly like the tub floored area that turns into a room or a totally protected floored "screened room". That is the feature we were looking for....totally enclosed with options for relaxation or enclement weather. Love, love, love this tent!!!!

I'm sorry, I wish I could help, and answer your question. I bought this tent as a gift for a friend and i do not know anything about it specifically. I do not think he has had a chance to open it and use it yet. If I do get any feedback from him about it, I will post it on Amazon. I'm sorry that I can't help you out. I know I would like to know all I could about something before I bought it, too.
