Just got back from a high altitude overnighter, my first chance to test out the Hex3. It rained/snowed off and on for 12 hours, with a few short sessions of hail. No leaks. Floor worked excellent at keeping runoff rain from getting near my gear. Around 11 p.m. came the howling wind. With all corners and mid sections staked out, along with the two guy wires, my shelter hardly budged.

The Hex 3 is outstanding when it comes to shedding wind and rain. Very little moisture formed on the inside, but not once did I get wet. Also was able to cook all meals inside tent. If you expect windy conditions, bringing 3-4 extra stakes is a must to anchor down all the loops. Would choose a hexagonal floor layout over square anyday. You'll know why once you experience the Hex3 in harsh weather.
