WinMag-

Double doors- I like it!  I see the continuous pole sleeves, which is great because it provides better support for the tent body than some other methods, but it doesn't say MESH pole sleeves.  I suspect these are solid fabric sleeves, which is what got Moss / MSR into trouble with condensation.  The sleeves wicked moisture from the inside of the rainfly into the tent.  This will get worse with more people in the tent of course.  

I saw two vents, but they're low on the tent body (I prefer higher vents because warm air rises and carries moisture with it.  High vents allow it to disappate easier / quicker.  Still, I should check this one out.

Thanks again!  Good stuff.

-Mike
