Love the flying diamond 8 tent - Big Agnes Flying Diamond 8 Tent - 8 Person, 3+ Season

My wife and I do a lot of music festivals, and we've been camping in a 4 person tent for quite a few years. This year my wife said she wanted a tent she could stand up in. After much research I chose the Big Agnes Flying Diamond 8. We just used it at Electric Forrest Music Fest in Michigan. It was great! I used a new queen sized mattress, a 5x7 carpet in front of that, and we were camping in style! Lots of room for all of our stuff, and we could both stand up in it, I'm 6 ft tall. It rained good one night, and we stayed 100% dry. I was afraid the rain fly would keep the air circulation down, but there was plenty of air going around. The tent is easy to set up. I've been to a couple of festivals where the weather got real bad - rain and VERY high winds, like you might find out on a mountain. My old tent held up surprisingly well, and we stayed dry. I wanted to make sure my new bigger tent would hold up well also under such conditions. After my research said this tent could be used as a base camp tent at Everest, I was sold. I haven't used it in such conditions yet, but after seeing it & using it first hand, I have no doubts it will hold up.
