What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven

I use this tent for Triathlon camping and love storing my bike in the Vestibule to keep it out of the elements. I can set it up alone faster than my friends set up their tent cause you know were type A triathletes. I purchased this tent from REI instead of another store because I know over time I'll need that part and REI will continue to hook me up when I talk to their store reps about an extra (clip, stake, etc). The only thing REI can do to improve this already awesome tent is to fix the zippers so I don't have to avoid zipping the rain fly, however, that rain fly keeps it bullet proof in the rain so I know how to work around the zipper issue no worries. Thank you REI for an awesome product, I would purchase this again hands down! Looking forward to using it at Wildflower Lake San Antonio, Shaver Lake Triathlon Camp Nelson and Sequoia General Sherman Tree training weekends.
