You can get this tent a whole lot cheaper at the Coleman online outlet at their website. That's where they sell the products they don't manufacture anymore but still have in inventory. I got mine for seventy.I just received mine yesterday and I haven't camped in this exact tent yet, but as soon as I do try it out I'll give a field review of it. However I HAVE camped in one owned by a friend before and it held up to some pretty foul weather with no problems at all. Plus, for the price, I don't know how you can beat it!The rainfly is great and features two good sized "kickstand" vents in the top rear, great for keeping it cooler when you're stuck in the rain during the hot months. Doesn't turn into a sauna with those vents.My only real gripe is the "Integrated groundsheet that can be zipped on and off". Mine didn't come with one. There's no zipper anywhere near the floor either, so it doesn't even look like it was meant to have one. Not a big deal, as I always make a custom ground sheet for all my tents anyway. Having the integrated ground sheet would have been nice, but not really a deal maker or breaker in my decision to purchase this tent.The front vestibule does zip on and off however. You could remove it to lighten your load a little, but I plan on having it attached all the time for the protection, privacy and storage.The poles are VERY nice. I love aluminum poles as opposed to the fiberglass poles.There's a pretty fair amount of room on the inside as well. It's a two man, but I consider it a one man with room for some stuff. I can easily sit up and move about. Not claustrophobic at all. With the fly off, there's plenty of mesh for stargazing and catching a breeze. Two decent sized storage pockets on either side are nice, too.Tent also comes with a handy little repair kit. Nice of them I suppose.One more gripe that I forgot about: I don't like the pole sleeves on this (or any other) tent. I would much rather just use clips than have to fiddle around with pole sleeves. They just snag and make you mad.But all in all, and especially for the price I got, I think this tent is a real winner.

I'm very glad I went with this tent instead of the slightly cheaper ones I found searching the web. First setup definitely has a difficult learning curve with not the best assembly directions but one person could setup it up in 5-10 minutes once they got the hang of it. The rain fly ventilated well with the 2 vents on it. Space-wise, it was very roomy and enough for me to stretch out my legs even though my toes would push up against the back-end, where the tent slants downward, but I don't even sleep coffin-style so I'm not complaining. I've been hearing some rumors about this tent being FREE STANDING or not, but in my opinion I guess you can get away without the stakes but that actually will diminish the wind-resistant and weather-stability which what the tent is designed for so it is a NON-FREE STANDING TENT, AKA(designed to stake into the ground). The tent can be pack small enough to fit into a normal backpack (like the ones for school) and weighs about 7.5 pounds. I got mine a little cheaper on the Coleman website.
