On our most recent outing up to Shenandoah we ended up setting up in the dark in quite a hurry trying to beat a severe thunderstorm that was rolling in. The tent went up quickly and handled the onslaught of rain like a champ. We did have a minor concern when we noticed water on the dome between the rain fly. The spot grew slightly but never actually came into the sleeping area. We were bone dry, well ventilated, and comfortable for the entire night. The storm did not let up until the wee hours of the morning.

I really like the design of the poles which have a plastic rounded end allow for easy threading through the pole selves. 2 doors and and 2 large vestibules on opposite sides of the tent make for great storage space protected from the weather but out of your sleeping area. Multiple vents on all sides of the tent maximize air flow no matter how your tent is oriented allowing you to capitalize on the slightest of breezes.

I highly recommend this tent. We plan on doing some winter camping this year and I will report back with a review of the tent in winter conditions.
