is the mesh fine enough to keep out nasty no-see-ums?
Is the partial fly a drawback under heavy rain conditions?
I'm wondering if it is nicely appointed inside with pockets or dropper loops for storing small gear items or hanging a flashlight or clothesline?

Yes, and Yes to your questions. The mesh will keep out no see-ums' I have not used it in a high wind w/rain senario....yet, but I've stayed dry with the rain fly on. With out the fly, you're wide open to rain as the entire roof is mesh. There are pockets in the tent, sufficent for basic needs and there is a loft available for this tent as well. Very nice, is worth every dollar I've spent on it....saw your reply as I logged in to buy the footprint....I would strongly recommend getting the footprint for this (as well as any NF tent.)

The mesh is a no see um mesh. under heavy rain it will be a drawback a huge drawback if its a little windy. As far as pockets i dont know but i would be more suprised if there wasnt then if there was. so im about 90% sure it does.
