Carried around Isle Royale for a week and huge storms hit the first two days. Heavy rain and heavy winds did produce a small leak on windward side of this tent at the very top of the door. Just drops - but it was a leak. I will note it faired better than much more expensive tents on the trip. Tent breathed very well. Twin vestibules and twin doors are very convenient! Almost a pound can be saved with the aluminum pole version - worth considering at $20 adder when on sale.
