With this 2 man tent you don't need 2 tents: one for winter and one for the tropics. I was worried before I purchased about condensation on a single wall tent but it turns out this is no problem. Ventillation is excellent - summer or winter! I use it as a one man tent (it's light enough!) and it is sooo roomy and bright. When the weather is fine and warm just unzip both doors for a 6 billion star view. It is unlike any tent I have ever owned. Follow instructions for setting up and it is then easy. It's probably not up to full on winter gales when pitched in stupid places but for anything else it covers it all - and with style!

I have had my Bibler Ahwahnee tent for about 15 years. When I bought it the footprint was 90" x 78". I believe that now you get a smaller, 2 person version, but same design as mine. Old version: 48.75 sf vs 33 sf for the current model. So, if I needed a similar size today it would be the Bibler Bombshelter. No hesitation here. You pay for quality and that is what you get!Add on's that I love are the two attics (which are nothing more than mesh shelves that attach to the interior poles) and are perfect for stuff you'll need like lighter, matches, pills, whatever. Your necessities are in plain sight but out of the way. I have a butane stove for inside cooking. I highly recommend if you do this to hang it low or put a heat barrier (tin foil?) on the ceiling. The heat rises and I feel uncomfortable with the fire danger.For winter I used the snow anchors and they do work. If you stake the tent properly it will withstand very high, storm type winds. It is very solid in that regard. I've been inside with 60 mph winds blowing and the tent was solid. I recommend seam sealing with silicone. Bibler also recommends this. I love the single wall design.....no condensation! I also love the interior poles because you can use them for hanging stuff up.....candle,drying socks,etc.I will add that I am sold on single wall tents. Period.For summer use it does not get any better, especially if you get the optional rear door vs. standard window. Ventilation is superb.The vestibule is a "must" if there is any chance of rain plus it is nice for shoes, sharp objects, dogs, cooking, etc. I like a dry and clean tent!Set up.....easy with practice.Lastly, Todd Bibler's credo always was to build the finest tent, no shortcuts, just the absolute best tent for the intended purpose. It is a tent that will last a lifetime with proper care. I keep mine clean and dry and stored in an closet, not the garage. With all the accessories, the stove, the groundcloth to pitch it on, the vestibule, the two attics, the snow anchors, etc. I paid over $1000 back in the 90's and I would do it again. In fact, I'll probably buy another smaller, lighter one for solo jaunts but once you have had a Bibler, nothing else will satisfy.I suggest yellow (if available) as the color of choice. It is very bright inside at dawn and dusk and you can spot your tent from a long way off!It's coming along on a multi-month European motorcycle tour and will be perfect for a basecamp tent.

We have traveled all over the world in this tent in all conditions and have never found anything better or more versatile.ProsVery lightA true 4 season tent in every wayBomb proof in all conditions (very high wind, snow, ice, rain, and heat)Very versatile! Tight as a clam shell or open it up like a wind tunnel to just give shade on the hottest daysCan be set up from inside the tentConsTight fit with the fabric makes it much easier to pitch with two people (can be fixed)A bit expensive (but worth it)Interior is tough to clean because of the Todd-TexThe vestibule is a must for two people and packs due to space (get the vestibule!)We have been using this tent all over the world and in every condition for the past 7 years and it is still going strong. We have several tents and have owned or used more tents over the years than we care to count. We are avid travelers and we have used the Ahwahnee in snow, ice, rain, high wind, desert, high and low altitudes, saltwater and fresh water trips, cycling trips, alpine, and everything else you can think of. We even lived in this thing for 2 years when we walked around the world. Okay, I will get on with it. The point is that this tent has seen a lot of action and has been put through the ringer.This is hands down the best tent that we have every used. It is built like a rock and still going after all of these years. We have slept in this tent with the bottom sitting in water and stayed totally dry. One of the other reviewers said that the fabric was leaking on their tent but, this is very unlikely. What was probably happening was that they did not have proper ventilation happening in certain conditions (especially in humid climates, like Ireland). It is best to leave a slight opening at the top of the door (with the mesh door still closed all of the way). A person breathes out a good liter and a bit of water when sleeping and it will condense on the walls and such if there is not proper air flow. Leaving this little opening at the top of the doors will keep everything nice and dry (even in inclement weather).One feature that we were especially grateful for (many times over) was the ability to set up the tent from the inside. There have been many days when really bad weather hits and you just want shelter as fast as possible. You can fling out the tent, dive in it with all of your gear (zipping the door behind you), and take your time pitching the tent while staying dry and warm. This is also a absolute lifesaver when you are being swarmed by thousands of insects that have chosen you as there next meal. On the down side, the fabric is a bit tight so it can be a lot of work to get the tent up from the inside with one person. This is actually not so bad in cold weather because it is a great way to warm up the body. As the tent ages, the fabric will get worked in a bit and the tightness will lessen, which makes set up easier.This is an extremely light tent (5 lbs 10 oz), you cannot get this kind of ease and protection with many 4-season tents. The Todd-Tex material and single-wall construction is thicker than other tents, so it does not require the additional rain shell that many tents use. This reduces a lot of the weight and set-up time. The poles being on the inside adds greatly to the ease of set up and versatility. The additional, optional vestibule(s) are great additions for parties of two, because you have a sheltered place for expedition-sized packs, dirty boots, and a cooking area in bad weather. The versatility of this tent is amazing. We went through the most diverse weather conditions. Heavy wind-which can be endured using the guy lines (total of four) without any issues. Rain-keep the top of the exterior doors open just a touch to prevent condensation build-up, the small openings will be covered by the tents built-in visors. Summer heat-open up both external doors, and you have an amazing sun shade with more air flow than any other tent. Snow-put down your sleeping mats and cuddle into your sleeping bags, it will be a nice dry night.One other thing to consider is that the mesh doors are kind of a tight weave. This can make a difference on a really hot day when the breeze is not very strong and you want to keep out insects, dust, and debris. The mesh weave is tight enough to keep everything out but, the wind flows through it less freely than with many other tents. This combines with the thick Todd-Tex to create warmer conditions compared to other tents with thinner side walls and mesh weaves that are more loose.All things considered, this is the best, most durable, and most versatile tend that we have ever used. There are warmer expedition tents but, you would never want to try to carry one on your back (they are very heavy), they cost thousands, and you will over heat in hot weather (without a cooling system). There are lighter tents but, they are not nearly as tough or warm in extreme cold. This tent truly does perform better in every condition and every environment. It does it all and it does it VERY well!
