Paul –
I have used this tent about 6 times this year. The latest being 3 nights in the lake district during storm Bret . The tent endured freezing temperatures, snow ,rain and 60mph winds without any problems at all . It is a great tent for just myself with bags of room, great ventilation and very sturdy.

Compact
This tent is compact indeed, so much so that it sleeps nearly one, no more. The groundsheet is so poor, I use a floorprint inside for extra cover. After some years had to replace the cords of both poles due to tear.
It can withheld some pretty severe wind and rain, has a nice “blending in” colour and solid pegs you can with ease hammer in solid ground.
