It's my own fault for being tight and trying to save money, but the people who have previously reviewed this item are also partly to blame. They either work for the company, or don't know a thing about camping gear. This tent is an absolute piece of junk that should not ever be available for purchase. Weighs more and is bigger folded up than they claim, and shoddily built with heavy, poor quality materials. The pole across the top broke on the second night of use and I was unable to remove the jammed piece to do a running repair so spent the trip with the inner mesh in our faces. In the future will be buying another brand, and will never consider anything made by Alps again. There should be a zero star option to rate it. Don't even consider buying this tent or you deserve everything you get, as I did. 'Mountaineering vertex'... What a joke.
