Which one is it - 2 or 3 person? There's a big difference in size - and your height matters as well. Read the specs & reviews before you buy.

There's no such thing as a 4 season tent. There's airy tents with great ventillation for summer & there's hardcore snow tents for winter - and lots in between. But any tent you can use in the snow will act as a microwave in the middle of summer!

I have two tents for that reason (3 actually) A mesh Salewa for hotter months, and a 3.5kg Coleman that's worth the extra weight in nastier conditions (survived Patagonian storms - just).

If you're tight pocketed, go grab something that'll keep the rain off without too many bells and whistles under $100 at Rays Outdoors eg. http://www.raysoutdoors.com.au/online-store/products/Wild-Country-Spirit-II-Dome-Tent-3-Person.aspx?pid=325584&menuFrom=2146461533#Cross
