I am surprised at all the positive reviews for this tent. I found it to perform very poorly in the rain. The problem is the gap between the fly and the tent towards the back -- there essentially is no gap and the slightest bit of moisture sees the fly sticking and acting like a wick for water. We returned this one to the shop, where they agreed that it was poorly designed and refunded our money. Not recommended.
