I have only used it once, but was pretty impressed. I got the foot print and gear loft along with the tent which I would recommend. its quick and easy to set-up alone. The footprint adds a decent dry space in the vestibules for traffic and gear storage, which is nice. I did run into some pretty hard rain a few times during my week long trip and didn't have any issues.
My only concerns with this tent is you do get condensation on the lower inside of the rain-fly, but this is only a problem when you are getting in and out of the tent. It also is way to small for 3 adults. But all in all I would give it an A-. Light to carry for a 3 person tent and built well!
