Since I picked up this tent in May I've used it almost every weekend since in a variety of weather conditions with no disappointments. It's handled moderate wind/rain on the Maine coast, torrential rain and thunderstorms in upstate New York, and plenty of heat. It's easy to set up and I'm always the first done (make sure you put the rain fly on the correct way). The included footprint and gear loft are a huge plus.
My only complaint is that, since it doesn't have a true bathtub floor, in heavy rain dirt bounces up under the rain fly and can get the bottom of the tent wet/dirty.
If you are debating between the one door (limelight) and this two door get the two door. Friends will want to stay in this tent!
