100mph + may work

Ranked #1134 - 3-Season Tents
November 7, 2009
My money would be better spent buying a 20 dollar Wal-Mart tent. Sure this tent is light, but I would go with out a tent than bring this tent. This tent will only work when you face the door open at an 100mph + wind to let the tent breath. Every time I used this tent( which is about 20 times) i woke up soaking wet because of major condensation problems. I have also used this tent in almost every different climate (Even with the door open this tent collects condensation). This tent is also extremely small and i can barely use it as a one man tent, i can't imagine fitting two people in it. The only nice thing about this tent is that it is very strong.
Bottom line: Only use this tent in extremely windy conditions consisting of 100mph + with the door open and the wind moving in towards the door. Anything else and you will wake up soaking wet!
