Zalman member Registered: 10/25/09 Posts: 97 Loc: Olympic Peninsula, Washington,...	No experience with it myself, but looking at it got me to wondering what makes a manufacturer rate this tent for 3-season use, while something like the Hilleberg Akto is rated for 4-season use. They seem very similar to me. Is the quality/waterproofness of the fabric different or something? _________________________ It's easy to be a holy man on top of a mountain. -- Larry Darrell
