Happy I bought it!
I just came back from camping in Glacier National Park, Montana. I used the tent for about a week there through many different weather conditions.
Setting the tent up is super easy. It took me around five minutes to set it up by myself.
The tent seems very strong. The poles are all aluminum and are very light. They practically snap themselves together which is nice if your in a hurry. The steaks are good to an extent. They go into dirt and loose gravel easily but as soon as the ground gets hard they bend when you try to pound them in. They are light though...
Inside the tent is roomie. It could fit three people but it would be snug. I slept with one other person and we had enough room to store our bags inside the tent. I am 6' and my partner was 5'2"
The tent does an excellent job of keeping bugs out! I had around 30+ between the screen and fly portions of the tent and not one got inside the tent.
On the trip it did hail and rain heavily. The fly is water repellent. The water beads up and rolls off. I had no water inside my tent at all. The hail hit the tent and did absolutely no damage, the hail was only pea size though.
There was a lot of wind at times but I haven't noticed any permanent bending of the poles.
The vestibules are great. I kept my shoes, tent bags, and hammer right outside my door all trip keeping everything dry.
After the trip was over the tent still looks brand new. Overall I was really impressed with the tent. Help up to everything I experienced and kept me dry.

The rock 32 rocks!
We have an expensive four season four person person tent that was due for replacement. Wanted something lightweight and easy to set up. This tent was it! Everything is color coded for easy setup. We woke up dry and with no dew at all. We loved the full screen and ability to see the stars and stay cool. I can't wait to use the fly and footpint by itself in a beach setting. Great value.

32 Rocks
This tent is an easy set for the average camper. Light tent which is ideal for backpacking where every ounce counts. Haven't encountered the rain so not sure what is to come with waterproofing. Overall a great buy.

North Face Quality at a Good Price
While not really being a "true" three season tent the Rock 32 is fine for basic camping. Well ventilated with lots of room for 2 and cozy for 3. Being able to set up the fly as a simple shelter is a plus.

I'll BE BACK
Don't recall the kind lady I spoke with but my first experience with Altrec will be one of many. Curtious, fantastic customer service and the product(s) are as described. Used my Rock Face 32 tent during a 50 mph wind/rain storm just south of Yellowstone. Flawless!
