"I have been out 3 times in the gamma and so far it is holding up the great reputation of Sierra Designs. It sets up quickly and easily. I've been through a north Georgia thunder storm followed by 20-25mph winds and it held up well. One all night drizzle in Alabama and not a leak one.The vestibule is a little small (only 2 pr. boots & 1 pack)and it is a little short for my 6'4" body. In summary, if you are under 6'2" tall this would be a great 3 season tent (especially since you can pick up one @campmor.com for 120$)that is very solid"

"Just received this tent and did a full set up walk around. Intend to use the tent for 2 - 3 people backpacking. It has only one door, but with a 74 x 89 floor plan that wouldn't be a problem. we're all under 6' and a standard sleeping pad should fit in the 74" direction. Unfortunately, my sleeping pad didn't fit in that direction. Thougth, gee that's weird,...when measured with a tape measure interior dimentions are 71 x 85.

Pads won't fit so that everyone can use the door. Probably will return it. Hope other manufacturers provide interior dimensions and not grommet to grommet exterior dimension.

Like I said,.. very well made tent. Light for the size and very packable,... just 2" too short inside to be really functional unless your entire party is under 5'6 & using short length pads.

disappointed & probably will return."
