Another Home RunWe had it out for the first time 12 deg, very comfortable, easy to set up. You could cram 3 people in it in the winter season but it would be real tight. I would highly recommend it for 4 season use, breaths real well when the rain fly is guy lined out and off of the mesh.
Worth the pack weight especially when you have a team of 3 or 4 people.
