PROS

1. Freestanding. The Mission can support its own weight on any terrain. It does not need to be staked down in most cases. But in case of strong winds, it is always best to secure it to the ground with the included steel stakes and guylines.
2. Vestibules. Having two vestibules. Offers you somewhere to store shoes and other items that can get dirty, muddy, this is a big plus.
3. Has Gear Loft. It is good to see Black Diamond adding a gear loft in the interior to store some of your things.
4. More than one room. The Mission is designed with two rooms, allowing for more privacy. Perfect for a large family and groups who do not want to be all sleeping together.
5. Removable divider. For those who want to maximize all of the available space that the Mission provides, the divider can be detached to have one large room for everyone to share.
