I bought this tent because it fulfilled two major requirements: It comes in a 6-person size, and it has a vestibule. I've had this tent for 2+ years now, and it hasn't disappointed. We like it so much that we requested one when renting from an outfitter in Banff! The vestibule is huge - nearly as big as the tent - and provides the space my family needs to store clothes, gear, and bikes without cro Gearjunkie · REI
