Re: Help Finding a Tent
It's a little overkill, but the Marmot Thor has zip up panels for all the mesh -- the mesh doors on both ends and the mesh vents in the ceiling. It would be a good 3-season tent (winter, spring, fall, minus summer heat). With five poles (and a sixth for the vestibule), the darn thing is stronger than most houses.
It's pricey, but not insane for a very heavy duty tent. $459 with free shipping at Moontrail:
Marmot Thor
I used it with temps down near freezing. Zipping up the mesh was really nice. Actually, I think I zipped up the doors and left the roof vents open. Would also be a great tent for camping at the shore where you know the wind is going to be whipping or when camping in a place that has thunder storms every afternoon. Too heavy for backpacking unless you have two people to split the weight (or sherpas).
