What do you all think of this tent? I'm a bit leary of Blackwolf stuff, but this sure looks like it'd fit our needs well. We need something 4 seasons, big enough for three (including a plus-size me and a rambunctious 5 yo), lightweight and up to Tassie highland conditions.

My and a few mates I know have only ever had problems with Black Wolf tents. Most of those were with their turbo family tents, but also one dome type one (see

I have never considered it for bushwalking but I have a Black Wolf dome tent for car camping that cost less than $50 and I just have to say my cheapo tent has performed like a little miracle in some really terrible conditions (wind, ice etc). I just would not want to trust my life on something that was not designed for four seasons in remote locations. The tent you are asking about claims it is 4-season so, based on my experience with Black Wolf, I might consider it.
