Anyone using this tent? How do you like it? How big is the vestibule?
It's a fine tent, especially for the money. My nephew used a Spitfire on our recent (short) JMT hike. I've had years of great service from a 1988-vintage Eureka backpacking tent.

It is a great tent for the money. The vestibule pretty small, room for your boots but not your pack.

Good reliable tent for what it costs. Well built. Not free standing. Large enough on the inside for 20 x 72 pad and bag with room at head and feet and beside pad on both sides for small amount of storage. Small vestibules on each side that a big enough for boots and small packs. I put my boots in vestibule on door side and my nearly empty Atmos 50 in vestibule away from door. Works fine. I have been guite happy with this tent. Would buy it again.

Ditto to everything above. I really like this tent. I lightened up and graduated to a Contrail.
