Does this have a lot of mesh? I have problems at Indian Creek with a lot sand blowing in the tent if you can't zip it all down shut.

Not compared with some tents, but still enough that wind-blown sand and dust are going to get in it without the fly on. The fly will always be your best defense, but something with at least higher nylon panels on the sides might be better. Just looking at the selection of tents that are in about the same price range, and meet that criteria, it looks like the Big Agnes Lynx Pass (item# BAG 0218) is the lowest ratio of mesh to nylon. I don't know the tent itself from experience, but I do know the brand, and I can vouch for the quality and performance. Other than that, I'm sure there are some obscure brands and models that have no mesh at all or zippered panels, but they're sure to be heavy and hellishly hot. Hope that helped.
