I am in the market for a tent large enough for a family of five.  I
don't plan to use it for backpacking, so light weight is not a factor.
I saw a couple of tents made from a cloth called "Evolution 3", does
anyone know if this material is good enough to justify the added cost?
I live in rainy Oregon so a waterproof (resistant) tent is a necessity.

What do you recommend for size?  Material?  Style (dome, umbrella, cabin)?
Brands that are good?  Brands that are bad?

Any help is appreciated and please mail replies to me and I will post
a summary if volume dictates.
