+ I CAN ANSWER TOO! I am on the verge of getting a tadpole and was wondering about how waterproof the groundsheet is? (ie would it be suitable to pitch on
damp ground during a wet scottish winter?)
john o replied: Read my review for north face\'s mountain marathon tent on this site. The same lesson may apply for you. Come ready with a plastic sheet or buy the footprint?
yes tent is awsome but make sure you check the seams really well i\'ll be sending mine in for repairs the mesh is pulling away from seams causing a hole.also make sure you put away dry molds up pretty quickly.

this tent is the one i have dreamt of, i have bought the one of model 2006 model...this tent is very much easy to set-up, ligthweight-ideal for backpacking
, it has an excellent performance during strong winds and nice ventilation....suitable also for low temperatures, ive used this tent at about 1 degree Celcius of temperature, and its awesome.....huh!!!
However, this tent is not suitable for 2 person, it has a small vestibule-Good only for 1 multiday Pack....a little bit small room for to person...
But overall I really love this tent, im glad i bought 1...
