The tent has a large flapped mesh door, and a rather small (18") flapped window at the feet. As such, it's made for mild cold temps, and the ground-hugging shape should withstand more wind than I've encountered. I've been using it for BP trips in the Adirondacks. The full-coverage fly stifles ventilation, but with the fly off it's just fine. The impressive thing about TNF tents is the brute thickness of the coating on the floor and fly. I wouldn't hesitate to take this tent on mild winter trips. Space is tight: I would share this tent only with someone I found really fascinating. But it shines on prepared-for-anything solo trips.
