I took this tent out on a pretty chilly, windy and wet four-night trip around Iceland. Really didn't have any problems with it at all. No leaks whatsoever, good ventilation, pretty sturdy little tent -- withheld some pretty strong gusts. I I also liked the tent design (you pitch the rainfly then hang tent inside from hooks) and the roomy vestibule.

I'm not a fan of fiber-glass poles, they make me nervous -- always waiting for the *one* to snap! But these were great.

The only downside to this tent: not enough space for three (not even two adults and a small child).

Not as easy to pitch as I'd like. Can be a little tricksy at first, but got a little easier each time. It's not that it's puzzling -- just takes longer to put together than I'd like. (About 12 minutes with two people.)

Still, I'm happy with tent. It seems remarkably well made and I feel confident I'll be using it for quite some time.
