I have spent roughly 10 nights in 5 national parks in the US in this tent and have been very impressed at how well it does in the weather. We had 30ish MPH winds at a couple different parks and this tent retained heat well, kept us and our gear dry, and was very secure throughout the night compared to other tents I have slept in. It gets pretty compact and doesn't weigh much, so has been a great addition to my gear collection.
Easy to set up and nice looking!! I went to Big Bear CA last week and had a great night sleep even though it was cold (20f) and very windy outside. I actually did not stretch the rain fly because if I did then there was going be some space between the end of the rain fly and the ground. I do recommend the product to others
