Just got back from Mount Rainier National Park and used the Spectrum 33. Held up to full night of rain. I did have a little condensation, but wiped it up with one of my backpacking towels. I like how it goes up pretty quick if you do need immediate shelter.

I used it along with the North Face Hightail 900 fill goose down bag, stayed pretty snug, outside temperature was around 30 degrees. Pretty happy with this product even with a little condensation. Even tho this is a three person tent, it only sleeps 2 comfortably.
