I have had this tent for just about two years now and I have had no large problems with it. The ties to tie back the vestibule are slightly clumbsy but that is the least of your worries. My first night in the rain with this supurb tent I was a little nervous. Not one leak! I would sleep in it during any rain storms. The floor has one seam down the middle (if I designed the tent it would not be there) that I seam sealed and have had no problems with. The vestibule is big so that your pack can be sheltered from the rain. With a large screen ceiling ventilation is fabulous. If you chose to buy this tent be sure to get a gear attic. Gear attics realy keep your floor organized and your stuff will not be sat on or grounded into the floor.
