Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I purchased this tent for an adult going on Scout campouts. It has room for one person in all reality. 2 could fit in, but not comfortably. I knew this before hand so this was not a concern for me. The tent is the perfect amount of space for one person with larger gear in the vestibules. I put this tent to the test. First, I submitted it to high winds and cold temperatures. With all the guylines, and the vestibule button loops employed for guylineage, the tent withstood 35-40 mph sustained winds with frequent 70 mph gusts. One of the button loops started to pull free but managed to hang on until the end of the 3 day camp. The temperatures were below freezing at night with high soil moisture leading to condensation freezing on the inside of the tent and dew freezing solid on the outside of the tent. The vent windows in the fly do not stay open under these conditions because the stay is not ridged enough to stay unfolded under natural forces. The next testing trip for this tent was during heavy rains in high humidity. The velocity of the raindrops hitting the fabric of the fly caused micro drops coming thru to the inside such that I could feel the drops but they were not large enough to make me more than just damp. Because the temperatures were hot and muggy, I was damp anyway. At the time I just growled and went to sleep and put up with it. However, again I found that ventilation was limited and I wanted the fly vents to stay open, but they could not under the impact of the down pour. I have not yet tried this tent out in a not too deep flooding environment. As I camp all year round, I am sure I will get the chance to try it out. I have done so with every other tent I have owned. Bathtub flooring, and tapped seams - even on the corners where the fly clips and stake webbing is - is the best way to remain dry in such situations. I do not know yet how well this tent will do with the corners under water. So far, overall, I have given this tent a good test run and have been very pleased. I am going to buy another if I can find a larger sized one. It is not heavy for the money, and has great durability. I am very happy. I just have to figure out how to solve the fly vent and micro drop issue. I have a larger ultralight tent from a different manufacturer and that one has stiff stays on the fly vents, and the fly material is silicon permeated. I wonder if I could retrofit this tent with these 2 features. I also plan to get old fashioned liquid seam sealer and treat the floor corners just in case. This is the best tent quality I have found for the money. THE OTHER THING THAT TENT BUYERS SHOULD BE AWARE OF IS: Because of the engineering of this tent, it allows the tent to be broken down in the rain. Here is what I mean. During a day long deluge, I packed up my gear and put it in the vestibule. I then got into the vestibule myself and unhooked the tent body from the poles while leaving the fly in place. I transferred the tent stakes to the fly, unhooking the tent body and the foot print, leaving the fly in place overhead. I then packed up the tent and foot print. I put my tent in my pack, put my pack rain cover on my pack then my rain gear on myself, then I got out of the fly and packed it up wet and strapped it on top of my packs rain cover. I then had a dry tent to set up that night with only a wet fly to worry about. Because of the way this tent is engineered, this is a very easy process to do.
