JohnfromMOThanks.. that's pretty much the only 'review' I could find and it's not much of a review.
It reads more like an ad / feature list rather than a genuine review after the tent has been used and put to the test.
With a bit more consideration, I think I'll pass on this drop. The entire inner wall is mesh so I can't see it being a good option for cold/windy/rainy conditions.

spiznasI like Sierra Design tents, but think this one occupies a space between ultra lightweight tents and regular backpacking tents that maybe doesn’t find a sweet spot for anyone.
spiznasHello,
Backcountry Edge has a great review video and there is another one below as well. This tent's fly goes so low that you shouldn't have any issue with rainy conditions and the unique rhino horn pole design does hold up insanely well in wind (especially when setup in the right direction).

MikeGilbertBackcountry edge makes some great videos - for showcasing product features and giving a close look. But their goal is to convince you to buy a product (hopefully through their store). I don't think I've seen them say a negative thing on their videos. Theyre not trying to scrutinise products and test them to expose weaknesses etc.
The fly may be low enough to stop rain from being blown in, but it doesn't look like it'll do anything to stop the wind from getting in.
I also have concerns of water dripping through the fly and onto the mesh, thus getting into the tent.

MikeGilbert Backcountry Edge does not review gear, just highlight features. They never give a real opinion.
