HenKiI have used a Salida 2 for 3-4 years and am OK with it. With two people inside the tent there is always a good amount of condensation on the inside of the rain fly (no vent). I always use a footprint and have never had leakage, even after considerable storms. The mesh is just now showing a bit of age, but still no tears. A good tent overall but I would like more vestibule room. Just my .02.
HenKiI have the TN2. The rainfly does actually have a stiffened, protected vent on each side at the "windows". I've only had it in brief rain, though, so I can't comment on their performance.
