I used this tent on a week-long camping trip in Utah where the wind gusted, and it rained and rained and rained. At first the tent got a little damp in the corners - then I wised up and guyed out all possible guy points as tightly as possible. The tent then stayed dry, even after a storm where the wind was so strong that the rain splashed up under the tent fly and the fly was pressed against the tent body.

On the negative side - the location of the fly entrance zipper on the vestibule. It is off to the right hand side, and when the it is raining or the fly is wet, water does drip into the tent when the fly is opened. That is the only negative I found with this tent. Size wise - at about 53 sq feet, I don't find it big enough for 2.
