Black Diamond Lighthouse Tent 2-Person 3-Season
Not very water-resistant
By Tones
Ranked #213 - 3-Season Tents
July 11, 2005
Used this tent on numerous occasions in the past 8 weeks: Smith Rocks, Shasta, Leavenworth. The tent excelled on all occasions until Squamish. After 2 hours of normal rain, water started to seep through the fabric and drip. Fourteen hours later practically everything in the tent was wet. Most water initially penetrated through the very top (above the seams) and the sides about a foot to 2 feet off the deck gave out later. The silicon impregnated nylon vestibule did much better!!! I would not consider this anything but an alpine tent unless I was going to bivy within the tent, then it would go further.
