Because reviewers had questioned whether this tent could stand up to a strong rain, I bought it with some concern. Having taken it out for several nights in wet weather, I'm a big fan. Set up is straightforward, and while the combination of sleeves and clips isn't elegant or clean, it does work. Specifically, the bent pole design does create nice living space. I stayed dry through wind and moderate long-lasting rain for several nights. My complaint, as with other reviewers, is with the doors on the fly. They don't stay open particularly well; and opening them in the rain without soaking gear stored in the vestibule is tricky.

This fabric liner is effective -- though doesn't really add 15 degrees of comfort to a 3 season bag. The stuff sack doesn't compress, and is just big enough for the sack. In my experience, it is way too much work to get it back inside; I just add it to the compression sack that I use for the sleeping bag. It does look like it would work nicely as a stand-alone bag in the hot weather.

I love this jacket. It is durable, and has a trim cut and a really nicely stripped-down aesthetic. The fit is perfect for me (shirt size 15.5 / 34). However, it isn't really a technical shell. (I use it for around town.) There is no drawcord on the neck, so it is difficult to adjust venting/keeping-the-rain-out. There is no adjustment to the cuff, which is an issue if you are wearing a big watch (like a Suunto), and could be an issue if your gloves don't have a gauntlet-style cuff themselves.
