Wondering how the bottom seal between the fly and tent body performs in high winds in sandy places (ie. Death Valley or Moab)? Had a tent in Moab this spring that performed incredibly well except for the space between the fly and tent body; the mesh sides allowed POUNDS of sand to blow up under the fly and into our tent, all over the gear.
So my question is: Has anyone tried this in the desert in high winds? How did it perform in the sand?

Any tent with mesh is going to allow sand in your tent.....I have to found this problem!

I have't found any tent except a single wall mountaineering tent that protects well against blowing sand. This would do as well or better than any other 3 season tent.
