This is a great tent - we took it out on the Olympics last weekend and it is an excellent, completely waterproof tent (rained all night). We love the double door feature. I also got the footprint which can be used in the ultra light configuration in summer.
Tent was a quick an easy setup, didn't have to read any instructions to learn how to put it together. I love that it came with a gear loft, great for putting any essentials up top for quick access. Have not gotten a chance to test it in the rain, but can't wait to take it out to test it.
I am 6'3" but pretty small (175 lbs). I am also a stomach sleeper (and I cant break the habit) so I take up a lot of room. My wife is 5'7" and thin. We fit in this great. Its overall a great tent for weight vs size and ease of setup. Love the dual entry so there is no crawling over each other if you have to get up.Vestibules are large enough to easily store a pack/shoes out of the rain. They are guaranteed waterproof, so what more can you like. So far we have not used it in the rain.Would definitely purchase again, we also got the footprint (recommended)
Mountain hardwear quality is legendary. This two person tent is super easy to pitch. Has an ultralight pitch option when used with the footprint (sold separately) which is a nice benefit. Love the headroom in this tent, usually don't get that much out of most two person tents. Vestibules provide more than ample room for your gear.
Mountain Hardwear's waterproofing works. Ive had it in the rain a couple times and never had a drop sneak in. 2 doors is a huge plus. No crawling over one another to get out of tent if you have to go pee in the middle of the night. Set up is so easy, takes less than 5 minutes. 2 vestibules to keep two peoples gear dry is also a plus. Zippers work smooth. No problems with anything about this tent. Can be set up with with fly only to save weight. It's not ultralight and its not 4 season. But for 3 season and the price I would highly recomend, I am very satisfied.

Best things about this tent, well everything. Mountain Hardwear's waterproofing works. I've had it rain, one pretty hard down pour and not a single drop of water got in. Its so easy to set up, takes less than 5 minutes easy.The two doors is a big plus since if one wakes up in the middle of the night to go pee they dont have to crawl over the other to get out. Also having two vestibules is great so theres plenty of room for two peoples gear to stay dry. Zippers work smooth, and Ive never had a problem with anything about this tent. ts not ultralight, but its light enough for the price range. If you got a bunch of money to blow on a tent you might want to find something lighter
"Light, quick, and Mountain Hardware quality. But, a bit small inside for 2"

Overall, I love this tent! Very, very little (if any) condensation and lightweight coming in at 4 1/2 lbs. I could have spent a couple hundred dollars more on a tent that weighed a pound less, but I figure anything under 5 lbs. and inexpensive (<$200 for a lightweight) will be just as effective for my week-long journeys to various Appalachian circuit hikes. I love the double-doors, semi-privacy, mesh walls with great ventilation, and overall quality feel of the MHW Drifter 2.
