The vestibule space is more than ample for your gear and ties securely. Meanwhile, this tent has a dome construction with crossing poles that can handle an overnight piling on of snow without collapsing on you. There is an extremely well-designed feel to this tent to compliment the quality of the materials, and the wraparound straps help to anchor the tent even in the roughest weather. Two tall people can comfortably sleep in this tent with their gear in the front vestibule outside, making the Hilleberg Jannu simply the best winter tent you can buy!
