rayrayNice weatherproof tent

Voted 4/5

This tent is roomy and sturdy and will hold up in inclement weather. After 12 hours of non-stop rain, hail and snow, the interior of the tent stayed dry with the exception of very minor condensation along the floor edge. The shelf is a nice bonus for stowage of small gear and makes the optional gear loft unnecessary. On the downside, the usable vestibule space is not sufficient for a 3-man tent.
