My dad and I both bought this tent last year and took them backpacking for four days. It rained every afternoon and the last afternoon was one of the worst hail storms I've seen. My dad's Zeus ended up in a puddle about four inches deep in water and it didn't leak a drop. The hail beat my tent to death and after about three hours of really hard rain, it leaked a couple of drops through one of the gear loft attachment points. (I used the seam sealer and just missed a spot.) I have since applied sealer to that location and turned my sprinkler on it for an hour and it doesn't leak a bit.

Maybe I've just had cheap tents in the past but condensation is a problem in EVERY tent I've ever been in! When there was a slight breeze, this tent stayed dry as a bone inside. Even after a rain storm and all the evaporation from the wet ground and you breathing in this thing, the level of moisture on the walls is still tolerable.

My only complaint would be that the vestibule is a little hard to get set up right. If the ground is anything less than level, it doesn't seem to hang right.

Overall, great tent. Would highly recommend it.
