I wish my wife felt the same way as I do. She doesn't like the low ceiling in the back part of the tent. She wishes it was the same height as it is up front. However, the Rain Fly is terrific! It is thicker than any tent out there and the Guy lines are the best. It's a 4-Season tent and we put it through the \"Test\" at The Grand Tetons in May of 2021. That first night, it was really cold and snowed heavily. We didn't know that until the following morning. We were toasty through out the night and the wind didn't budge the tent. I didn't know that it snowed until I went outside the following morning. The snow just slid off the Rainfly with ease. Inside, the tent was \"bone dry\".
