5.0 out of 5 stars. Now, Even Better!Reviewed by Cascadian Turtle from Olympia, WA on Thursday, July 31, 2008I wrote a review of a '95 Tiros that was glowing and I always knew that I would replace this tent with another Tiros. I am glad I did because it got even better. How? Lighter Polls. Larger Vestubule. Two doors rather than just a small venting side. Quick Fly fastning to polls. Better Stakes. Higher Tub Floor. Taped Seams. Great storage inside. 40 sq. ft. This is one of those instances when something was actually improved upon with time. Great tent, looking forward to another dozen years with my new Tiros.

5.0 out of 5 stars. Sturdy, comfort, big space, but heavyReviewed by Jesper from Beacon, NY on Tuesday, July 29, 2008I had used this tent for 11 nights, I am very satisfied with it. Good for car camping, but heavy for backpacker. Very sturdy and water proof. Better to keep only net door closed, otherwise it is easy to collect condensation.

4.0 out of 5 stars. Strong as an ox, but heavy.Verified Buyer Reviewed by Camper on the plains from Seattle, WA on Wednesday, July 9, 2008Very sturdy and able to handle high winds. Not very light, but when the light tents have blown down the extra weight is worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars. Great TentVerified Buyer Reviewed by Tommy the traveler from Gateway to the Sierras on Friday, June 20, 2008Great 4-season mountaineering tent. Impervious to wind, rain, snow. A little heavy for summer backpacking but the footprint-fly combination is great for going light (if you can find the footprint). Large vestibule great for equipment or cooking. Plenty of internal storage options.

4.0 out of 5 stars. Heavy but solid.Verified Buyer Reviewed by Chris from Maryland on Friday, April 11, 2008The first time I set up this tent, the poles barely went in. With a little more practice it has gotten easier, but the fabric is still incredibly tight, which should help it to handle wind without any problem. The tent is very sturdy, and is well-suited to being used without the fly as a mild-weather tent (or using only the fly). It is heavy for a backpacking tent, but depending on the conditions you typically face, it could well be worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars. Best Tent Ever Made!!!Reviewed by Steve BackCountryTrails 93 from San Jose Ca on Saturday, January 12, 2008I bought the first series of this tent when hit the market back in the 1990's. I never looked back or ever considered another tent it is truly a bombshell tent. I use to work for the Forrest Service and used this tent versus the tents they offered to wilderness employees I am glad I did. Once on Mount Whitney got caught in a 70 mile wind storm and this tent performed just as it was meant to. When fully guild down this tent does not move . I have had it in severe Eastern Sierra Thunder Storms with torrential rain as well as freak blizzards in June that dumped 2 feet in hour and a half. Even in those times I felt no worries of the tent failing. What more can I say Best Tent Ever Made and SD has come out with a new Stretch Tiros 2 it is one pound lighter and you lose 2 square feet but same Bombshell design.
