The Assault Outfitter is a great tent; it is made better than the standard tent, and is certainly up to 'expedition duty' quality. It is also roomy for this type of tent, with plenty of room for two large people and associated gear..and lots of gear, making this a true four-season tent.It has been noted in another review that this is 'not a backpacking tent'; I would argue that it depends on your definition of backpacking. To me, it IS a backpacking tent. If I'm out for a week or more in rugged conditions, frankly, I want a bit more than the average ultra-light backpacking tent offers. No, you won't want to stuff this in your average weekend internal frame pack; not because you can't handle 13 lbs, but because it is bulky. However, if you're old school like me, and use a large external frame pack, like the Kelty Super Tioga, it will swallow this tent up with ease, and pack quite comfortably. Add a few quality compression straps to this, and break it down and distribute the load amongst two or three backpackers, and it becomes even more 'backpack-able'. I'll admit that I'm an old light-infantryman, used to packing sixty-eighty lbs for weeks on end, so 13 lbs of reliable and comfortable living space on my back is a non-issue. If you're an ultra-light minimalist, and want to backpack with only a fanny pack and three matches, this is not the tent for you.I would add that if you're the type that keeps a 'bug-out rucksack' on standby, this is a great tent to have stuffed inside of it, as it is built heavily enough for serious and extended duty.If I could only own one tent (and I own several), this would be the one that I kept.

This is a burly tent.I've camped for extended periods in the Nevada desert, including 50 mph dust storms, and the tent stays rock solid. Ventilates well, with two large screen doors. Stops wind well if it's all zipped up. A friend took it camping for a torrential downpour weekend, getting 3+ inches of rain in three days, and claims he stayed dry. I took it to a swamp, and had no problems with bugs.Two small issues. The doors are hinged at the bottom; that is, when you unzip them, they're attached to the floor. You need to tuck them under as not to step on them. Also, for desert camping, the black Eureka logo (!) becomes *hot* to the touch.Neither are significant problems, and at this point, I prefer this tent to the Timberline Outfitter 4.Also, I see that someone tagged this tent with "backpacking". This is *not* a backpacking tent, as it's almost three times heavier than a backpacking tent of it's size should be. "Durable, sturdy, roomy", sure. "Light, compact", not so much.

My family camps a lot and we got tired of cheap tents that fall apart after the first season and leak the first time they get rained on. Four or five years ago I splurged and invested in this expensive tent because it seemed durable and was good for 4 seasons. We would never use this tent for backpacking; it is far too heavy and bulky for that.This has been an excellent tent. When the tent was new getting the first pole in was so difficult that I was afraid it would break, but now that the tent has been pitched dozens of times the first pole goes in easy. The tent has been water tight, with no need to apply seem sealer to it. We have camped at the ocean in the fall and still never had a problem with condensation inside the tent body. We have pitched it on sharp gravel multiple times and with out a ground cover and the floor had not been damaged.The tent body is very durable and it the stitching is high quality. I like the side pockets and the optional loft. The heavy duty zippers never get stuck.The roomy vestibules are great for storing gear and keeping the family dog dry. Due to the size and configuration of the front vestibule it is hard for me to reach the zipper. We have started using the back door as the main door because it is easier to get in and out of. I had really long arms it would be easier to reach the zippers in the front.I love this tent. But there is one problem, the lame plastic window. I never cared about having a window in the fly sheet. The window is too cloudy to see out of and if I really need to see out I can just unzip the fly sheet a bit and still stay dry thanks to the roomy vestibule. But my real problem with the plastic window is that it has started falling apart. The plastic window had several holes in it when I unpacked the tent this summer. My tent in no longer waterproof thanks to this stupid plastic window. I'm going to see if Eureka will fix the window. If not for the problem with the window I would give this tent a 5 star rating. Would I buy this tent again? Yes if not for the plastic vestibule.I have called Eureka (Johnson Outdoors) about getting the window repaired. They said that it might be covered under warranty but they will not replace the window, instead they will sew a piece of fabric over it. Also I have to pay the postage to sent it to New York State for repair and it will take Eureka 4-6 weeks to repair my tent add to that a week for it to reach New York and another week for it to be mailed back and the entire summer will be gone. I am very dissapointed!
