Do they still make that tent ?
Looked around for it and can’t seem to find anyone that had it in stock or on their website ?

Did see a used one on eBay

An AO10 extreme is also tried and true at wind speed up to about 90 mph if you use all the guy outs. An Artika would be the sweet spot between an AO10 and igloo.

Yes. Hilleberg still makes the Saitaris. Unfortunately, It’s usually out of stock. You could give them a call and find out when the next production run will be. If I remember correctly, it’s during the spring. Definitely worth the wait and hassle of getting one.

Another vote for Hilleberg. I've never owned the Saitaris but owned the Keron 4GT. With their double pole system you can jump on top of the tent and it will hold your weight. With that set up the only limitation will be how effectively your stakes hold. Here it is serving as a lifeboat in case the 16-man goes t*ts up. Remember that "man-ratings" are equivalent to how many sardines you can squeeze into a can. Four people can fit inside a 4-man tent but you had better be good buddies if your stay is going to be longer than a couple of nights.

Love the sardine analogy.
And how true it is.

We used a Mountain Hardware Trango4 on Kodiak for a week, had 50-60mph gusts 2 nights in a row. The tent didn’t budge, I was beyond impressed. I would highly recommend it. It’s about half the weight of a cabelas guide tent. FWIW there was a group of hunters about 2 miles across the bay from us that had their arctic oven completely collapse on them, but they were also camped out in the open.

2-4 Kuiu tents …. They test these things with a damn air boat pointed directly at the tent…. In all seriousness I love mine. I think it can take any wind any time but Hille ‘s are nice too

I was thinking about getting one of these bad boys. Good pricing, and they have good reviews from other members. https://rokslide.com/forums/threads/custom-shelters-and-modifications.59153/post-836464

Have a North Face Mountain 25 that I would comfortably use in any conditions, its a commonly used high altitude mountaineering tent. Mine is a 2 person, but they make a 4 person base camp size that is bombproof. Lots of good options listed here, never used a Hilleberg, but they have an excellent reputation.
