This tent is ideal for 2 backpackers that want some elbow room, or 3 small-to-average sizzed backpackers looking to minimize space in a pack or at a camp site. Three big backpackers better be good friends, or consider this model for just 2 of you and add a 2-person tent for the other guy.
It is double-walled - the ventilated tent body as shown in the picture, plus a waterproof cover ("the fly") that goes over it. It is also free-standing (no stakes needed and can be moved around if need be) which can be helpful in real rocky areas. Doors on each side keep fellow campers from stepping on each other on the way in or out. If you are car camping, there's no need to pay the extra cost for this tent; rent our 3-person car camping tent instead. The important inside specs include it being about 70" across and about 90"' long, and comes in at about 5 pounds with stakes, stuff sack, etc. Current tent models in this line include those from Near Zero - a lightweight outdoor gear brand based nearby to us here in AZ.
This tent is rated as "Three-Season", but should protect you just fine even in high, cold winds if the fly cover is used and you use the provided stakes. Heavy snows could be a problem if allowed to stack up on top. If you find yourself in a heavy snow one night, you should get up every now and then and brush it off. A few inches shouldn't hurt it. If you need more protection against high alpine winds and/or heavier snow, rent a true 4-season tent.
We have lots of advice about the great outdoors including more information on tents and shelters for camping and backpacking such as how to choose the best tent and how to find and make a good camp site.
