I camp every year in HARSH conditions. And every year...it rains on us like crazy. When I purchased this tent, I like that the bottom tarp of the tent wrapped UP the sides about 8 inches. Thats KEY for waterproofing from ground water. The other criteria was that the rainfly came down over the tent enough to really cover the windows and zippers. Rain usually finds its way in there. It also has ample head height and if you hang a light in it, it will be a nice bright tent.
Quick setup and tear down as well. Either way, Ive used this for 3 trips (all had severe rain...because thats my camping life) and every time, I stayed BONE DRY, and so did my stuff! Its so waterproof that I can leave the doors and windows open without getting water in. I like it so much a couple of my buddies got the same one and now we joke like were a bunch of rich campers in the Evanston 8 good sir!!! hell of a tent. Highly recommended.
