I'm writing to update my previous review where I ripped the floor of my tent at home with chair legs. First, I'll say this was my fault and certainly not a designed for situation. I sent the tent in for repair with Nemo and to my shock they covered it under warranty. I deserved to pay for this repair and didn't ask for them to cover it but they did. So big kudos to their custom service, also the repair seems very well done.
Now that I've spent a few nights in the tent out in the woods I have a better appreciation for the tent and its features. The Jake feet were handy and made setting up the tent by myself easier than previous tents I've used. They still seem like a weak spot for the tent if it were to break, but it was nice being able to just leave the foot print connected to the tent for an entire trip. Packing the tent up with the footprint attached saved steps and time.
The vestibule was much larger than previous tents that I've used, and created an actually useful area. Going into it, I thought the landing pad was gimmicky, but in practice it was super handy.
Set up was pretty easy and quick. The door hold backs worked well. I didn't find the interior pockets to be very useful.
Overall I'm happy with the tent, and very happy with Nemo.
