I bought this tent because of the full-coverage rain fly and very reasonable price tag. My son and I have taken it out in heavy rain and been totally dry. I especially like the way the fly is designed to fit tight enough on the frame so that it doesn’t make contact with the tent body anywhere.

The only negative that I can see is that the snaps that close the bottom of the vestibule doors are a little tough to reach from inside the tent without brushing up against the inside of the fly. (...this was kind of a bummer in the rain...) Other than that, the Gunnison is a great tent at a great price.
