The rainfly over the tent opening is also bad since each time out it is very easy to touch the top and spill all of the trapped water from the fly directly into the tent. Puddles developed quickly on the floor and it seems that the seams separating the bottom from the rest of the tent let just about every bit of water touching them through. The weather was cold and clear the first night, but got cloudy the following afternoon and didn't stop until we went home. Setup wasn't too difficult, though the instructions could be more detailed for stake placement. We arrived at the campsite after dark and thus set the tent up for the first time in the dark by flashlight. Our first outting was a good test for the new tent. I bought this tent to go on camping trips with my son. Lamb was known for his innovative sleeping bag designs. Of Ithaca, N.Y., took a break, then created his final outdoor company. Lamb sold Alpine Design to General Recreation, Inc. Originally, Alpine Design of Boulder, Colo., was named, which was founded by George Lamb in the 1960s. Other Alpine Design products made be made by other companies. Sports Authority Alpine Design tents are manufactured. They need to put more money into the zipper! Most recently, the name 'Alpine Design' has been used by The Sports Authority for its house-brand camping gear. The stuffing rips out easily and the zipper broke just after a few months in light use. When I examined the right foot, the second glued-in sole delaminated and Don't buy this. Thinking the shoes were OK, I stepped on a rock in the river to get a grip, got swept backwards fast and banged my lower back hard on a pointed rock. First a glued-in left sole floated away in the Yama River, Steamboat, Colo., where the hydraulic is located. I have had very good results with all Alpine Design gear, but these water sandals bought a few years ago, but little used, just fell apart. There was an instance where some of the stakes bent the ground was so hard, but that's I have had this Mesa 8 tent for 7-8 years and have never had a problem, except which way the rain fly goes. Mine didn't come with a rainfly so I can't use it during bad weather, but it definitely stays put in the wind and although you do have to stake it down I've never had a real problem with being about to do that. I use it every time I go camping! The original model can easily fit two people and their stuff (so long as it's not a giant backpack).
