So far, I've only used it for summer and fall. But it has been absolutely poured on and stayed bone dry. Also have been set up on a very windy ridge and it didn't even flap. Very tight fly set up. And that was just using two poles and a spreader, not the full 3 poles. Vents great (one super humid night in W. Va.). A little heavier than I expected or would have liked but it will take me through 95 percent of the weather conditions out there.
