A warm weather perspective
"I have probably 20 nights in an Eldorado, only 5 of which were winter basecamp conditions, where it performed like a palace for one in sub -15C conditions. However, I have also used this tent (with vestibule) for summer camping with wife and dog, both back country and campground. The only downside I can name is weight/bulk. Otherwise, this is not just a winter tent, even if perhaps optimized for alpine conditions. In a rainy forest, it has performed very very well in keeping rain out and moving moisture through the fabric. Todd Tex fabric is magical. It is heavy, but condensation was never an issue. I say this because condensation is always the issue presented for avoiding single wall tents. The fabric can get wet on the insideC but it dries out very well. As far as alpine, I have used this in a proper bad windstorm, and staked out properly with guylines, it is bombproof. It is an impressive tent, and the best tent i have ever used, though not a lightweight choice."
