Not the best of both worlds.Pros: Great quality and strength. The tent easily handled 40-mph winds.
Cons: Heavy weight. Poor ventilation in summer time. The 3-pole design and cut of the rain fly create an area above the door where rain and snow can collect. For winter applications more guy out points would be useful.
Conclusion: While the tent is great quality and very strong it is overkill for summer usage and adequate for winter. One can buy a 3-season tent which is much cheaper,lighter, and better for its intended purpose.
