Used mine on a school trip to big bend national park, several girls slept in it, including my daughter. Time of year we went we would get significant winds come down through the valley and really blow, one night was bad enough that nearly all the other tents were sacked, literally tore tents and broke poles on about half the girls tents as they were exposed and in the front line of the wind direction. I didn’t get up but a lot of the dads were out saving their daughters and friends. I stayed in my tent, as I was in a protected area and wasn’t getting the full effect of the wind. The next morning, when surveying the damage, there was talk about “this one tent wasn’t even budging” and lots of talk about “who brought that tent”....it was the cabelas alaskan guide, with the fiberglass poles, not even the heavier duty aluminum poles. Best part about it was I didn’t even have the thing guyed out, it was just the basic set up with poles only. My daughter said the wall the wind was hitting would sometimes bow in a little, but it never wanted to even think about coming down. Solid tent. I think the park ranger said something about sustained 70+ mph winds, and I would believe it from the carnage I saw in the cheap tents.
Have used many other times with less demanding weather and has held up and never had any condensation issues either.
