I recently purchased and used this tent on two backpacking trips in the Northern Sierras. On both trips, heavy winds combined with hail and rain pelted the tent. I was impressed with design and strength of the tent and it barely moved or made a sound in 50 mph winds. No problems with water either despite not using a footprint. The interior space does take a little getting used to. With two people sleeping opposite each other, setting up on a flat space is imperative for a good nights sleep. I love the tent's lightness and the entry door is extremely easy and quiet to use. This is my third Sierra Designs tent and I continue to see a strong commitment by the company toward innovation and performance.
