Just spent 3 days in the Australian Alps with my wife in this tent. The wind howled at gale force all night. I forgot my ear plugs and didn't sleep much but I couldn't believe how well the tent stood up to the winds and torrential rain - we were both bone dry in the morning (not even mildly damp at the sleeping bag foot). Easy to open the doors and set up (in pitch black) - one of the best tents I have ever owned (and I buy top of the range cottage industry gear).
