I have had this tent for over a year now and I am still very impressed. It's perfect for 2 people, has great ventilation and always pitches perfectly. The only thing I will say is that the poles are weaker than my old North Face, but then the Phad X3 does not cost as much.
The porch area is brilliant, as it has 2 doors and so if it's raining, you have plenty of storage. The porch also has a zip out groundsheet. Even though some high end, high cost tents don't have that. I would like to see a dedicated footprint for it though. I'm a great believer in footprints for tents, as it helps protect the one on the tent. Despite a couple of short comings, I would give this tent 10 out of 10 for the price.
