This tent has never let me down. I have been through moderate to heavy rain with no problems. I have also seen some light snow and hail in this bad boy with no complaints.

This tent is said to be a two man tent, but I have actually slept three in a pinch with NO ROOM to spare. We slept head to toe, to head. This tent has a spacious vestibule that is great for storing gear or even cooking during a storm.

I'm giving the tent 4.5 stars because I believe nothing is perfect, there is always room for improvement.
