Bomb-proof! It is not light, but it is tough. I have slept 3 in a pinch. With the vestibule, I feel like I have a fabric house. My husband has one from the 70's from his scouting days our kids still use! Just this year, we discovered a hole in a corner that is fully repairable.

This tent kept me out for extra days in rotten rain this summer. The only real wet came when I did not set up the ground cloth right, and I was able to take care of the water easily. While I am looking for a lighter "fair-weather" tent, one cannot beat this tent for great features at reasonable split weight.
