It has been 3 years since I bought this tent. We have camped a few times and never had any trouble with it and have been perfectly happy with it.But, the reality was that it hadn't been put to the test yet. I couldn't give a strong review from only experience under light or moderate conditions.All tents are good when it is relatively dry with little wind, etc. But, now I can verify that this is one tough tent! I don't give out praise lightly.My son and I camped on the shore of a rather large lake in mid-late August, 20-22.The first night about 9:30 the thunder started and the wind picked up. We moved our game and food into the tent. I knew strong thunderstorms were expected in the area. I was hoping they would glance or miss us as summer storms sometimes do. Nope. The whole time we were lying on our sleeping bags playing Yahtzee, the storm's intensity grew quickly. We kept looking at each other as crashes of lightning hit close and the wind was straining the tent around us. The whole time as the father I was working out the best contingency plans if the worst happened. I was sure it would.Mind you, we were on the east end of the lake. Our weather comes from the west. This lake is tucked between some pretty tall hills. So the wind is funneled. Sideways rain was driven by constant winds between 20-30 mph and gusts to about 35-45 mph. This lasted about 1/2 hour-hour. What's more our door, which doesn't have the direct rain fly cover, was facing the lake (for the view).When the storm ( that wasn't the end of the harsh weather, just the wind) passed, there was a slight seepage on the windward facing door wall to be dabbed up with a towel. The tent was entirely intact.To add, somewhere about 3 AM there was a torrential downpour that lasted at least a half hour, up to 1 1/2 hour. Not a drop inside.Folks, this was the kind of storm that all the locals were talking about and asking each other how much property damage they had incurred, when we went into town to have breakfast because the fire pit and all the wood was drenched.Now, I can honestly write a good review. The darkening features; compactness to small size when packed and ease of set up are great. But that tent will hold up in very tough storm conditions. You can hike out with confidence when you don't have a retreat option readily available. (I wilderness hike too)
