A remarkable tent for the price. Used on 35-consecutive day bike tour of Japan's northern island Hokkaido during the summer months; I got well more then my money's worth. The tent provided me with comfortable, dry housing for over a month in conditions ranging from hot dry temps to cold, wet, windy mountain tops.

Designed to accomodate two people, I found the tent to be perfect size for one person+gear. The trick to keeping dry in the rain is to setup the tent body slightly slack while applying the rainfly over it as tightly as possible. The materials are strong, poles can handle average to tougher winds which makes this a perfect backpacker/bike tourist's tent in moderate weather conditions. I wouldn't push your luck in high wind (+60mph).
