(More customer reviews)I spent a long time deciding on a tent and whether to get a 3 or 4-Season tent. Although, I don't intend to be camping in blizzards or even winter camping (most of the time), I wanted to have something that withstood wind, was well designed and kept the weather out. My wife and daughter both tend to feel cold and don't like to feel like they are packed into small spaces. This tent is luxuriously roomy for the 3 of us and not nearly as heavy as some of the other large tents that I looked at, that tended to be mostly 3-season ones. As we are not backpacking to campsites the weight should not be a problem and the bag that comes with the tent holds everything (and the footprint) without a struggle. The tent does take a little longer to run the poles through the sleeves, especially when it is dark, however by using identical poles for the tent made it easier to deal with putting up the tent.
We recently went to Acadia National Park where the nighttime temperatures were right around the freezing mark and the tent worked out fine. It was large enough that other family members could come in and hang out with us and kept us well sheltered. Another problem I was worried about was condensation inside the tent with the cooler temperatures outside, but there was enough air volume in the tent that we had no such problem.
Although the tent was expensive I am happy we made this choice and hope to get many years of use out of the tent.

The largest expedition tent in the Mountain Safety Research collection, the Storm King sleeps five and is strong enough to handle it all, from wet Cascade snow dumps to multi-day Alaskan horror shows. The Storm King is made of 40D x 238T ripstop nylon 6 fabric, with a 1,500mm polyurethane and silicone coating that helps keep cold and wet weather at bay. The burly reinforced frame, meanwhile, includes frame restrictors and an equalized tension structure, creating superior strength and stability despite the large size. As a result, you'll have the confidence and sanity to get some sleep inside despite the rage outside. Best of all for large groups, the tent features loads of interior space, with a giant front vestibule and a small rear vestibule contributing to the floor plan. Other features include an easy-to-set-up design with five equal-length poles and continuous pole sleeves, along with two large doors that provide excellent cross ventilation.
