    Curious about the tent. Have you used it in winter conditions before?

      While not technically winter, I've used it a couple times in spring snow. Once was in a storm, we were in some trees and were pretty well protected, but it did great, no issues. Being two peaked, it's probably not as winter resistant as a single pole mid, but it's also more bomber material than an average mid, and the snow skirt can block out blowing snow which is a definite plus. If you're not digging out a sitting area, then the footprint is also a nice-to-have. It is pretty big though - pros and cons... pro is room for stuff and not claustrophobic, con being more space to warm up.
      Net net, if you seal it off with the snow skirt, it does well in winter/cold/snow - especially with a good pad and bag.

          Bump, and new pic with the tent body re-packed better - it packs down pretty small, especially considering the square footage
