I just came home from my yearly Canadian fishing trip where the weather was hit and miss. I've spent many nights in tents. I owned the North Face VE-25 which is bomb proof but a bit excessive to carry around. I also have a Marmot Swallow which is an excellent tent in itself.

However, the North Face Rock is my new love. It sets up under 5 minutes, has excellent ventilation for air and star gazing, and it handled possibly the worst lightning storm I've ever had to deal with while camping. Tons of rain and not an issue at all with water in the tent after the storm passed. I highly recommend this tent for not just the price, but also its durability.
