2. Internal storage. It is nice to see Big Agnes has added a gear loft and pockets in the interior to store some of your stuff.
3. The rainfly completely covers the tent body. The rainfly covers the entire body of the tent from the top to the bottom and has a waterproof rating of 0mm. Meaning it will easily protect you against heavy rain.
4. Other sizes are available. Big Agnes has also made this model available in Other Sizes.
5. Low price. It is a great buy for a 6 person dome tent providing this much space. Not many tents available on the market provide this level of quality for only $329.95

CONS

1. Sensitive to wind. Because of its size and shape, the Rabbit Ears may not do best in strong winds if it is not firmly secured with the provided guy lines and stakes. Even though the tent is listed as freestanding in all but very calm conditions, one would want to stake and tie it down correctly.
2. Not spacious. With a floor area of 85 square feet, the Rabbit Ears 6 is smaller than quite a few of the 107 other 6 person tents we have looked at.
3. Only one room. The Rabbit Ears is suggested for 6 campers, many other tents of a similar size have more than one room allowing for a little more privacy.
4. No Vestibules. If you want to keep your dirty shoes, clothes, and backpacks protected from the rain etc, you need store them inside the tent.
5. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, there is one sold separately designed for the Rabbit Ears 6 footprint Even though the floor may be made of Polyester Ripstop, it is still better to protect it further with a footprint, especially on rough terrain.
6. Sloping walls. Even though Dome tents have many qualities to be positive about. The sloping sides do tend to make it all the more smaller inside.
