In the two years that I have had it--I was blown away. Not literally beause the Missing Link gives such protection to the wind. I used this to hike a 6-day 68-mile hike to Maccu-Piccu and it held up well to the rain, was easy to set up, and was roomy enough for two people and their gear. At $219 I was a bit taken aback because I am normally money conscious. But for this value I would suggest buying it for every serious hiker you know.
