I've used this tent for a couple of years now, lived out of it for weeks at a time and I guess it's time to give my 2cents. I've set it up in the wind, rain, cold, snow, sleet, and even a couple of nice days. It sets up easy and fast. The color coded tabs allows for getting the fly on right the first time. I've had it out in torrential rains on several occasions and it has never leaked a drop. Very high wind (40-ish mph) will push the side of the tent in, but of the 4 severe wind events the tent has seen the poles have not broke. The interior space is small but that generally a trade-off for getting a non-bulky and kinda lightweight tent. The double entry and double vestibule storage are great, though. One word of caution: don't take it out if there's a risk of a dust/sand storm...the mesh is nice for ventilation but even with the fly as low and tight as it will go, the stuff will get in big time and make for a very miserable night.
