After mixed results in winter with the original Sierra Designs Flashlight and the Chouinard Pyramid I finally purchased this tent in 1989. It is a true 4 season tent.

This tent was used by the U.S. Antarctic Program. The tent weighs 6.2 lbs.

To be really secure in the worst weather the tent requires all tie-outs be used, which means 20 stakes. But it will handle just about anything Mother Nature can throw at you.
