Can I use this in the winter or is this to fragile? Some personal experiences would be good if you can share them.

I would advise against winter camping. A friend and myself got caught in an unexpected snow storm with only light summer gear, the Sprite included for myself. Was tolerable but the fly doesnt cover all the way to the ground and the canopy itself is way to light for snow.

I used it in the winter and it wasn't bad. Because the tent isn't free standing, I had to dig out several places to stake which meant more time standing still while freezing. If not staked tight, freezing ice will cause some sagging.
