"+1 for the half dome. This will be year 10 with it for me too. ... I’ve taken it on all sorts of trips and the only issue is the elasticity in the poles but it’s an old tent."
"I've had a REI half dome tent for nearing 10 years. ... otherwise it's been holding strong over multiple backpacking trips and car camping in rain and snow."

"I thought I was reading my own post for a second! Exactly the same experience. ... bought a north face tent that my spouse ( and me too) can stand up and move around in. Fantastic!! ... The bigger one has a porch and in bad weather having that space and more inside space is so good."
"I'm a little tall for it at 6'4.5" ... it's OK if I lay on an angle"
