Spitfire

with proper water proofing and the fctory taped seams no water has gotten yet and i spent 24 hours in it during a big rain storm while in the Adirondack Mountains of New York over the summer (06). I do wish that the fly had a window to see a little of whats going on outsideunzipping the two zippers is a little annoying and the vestabule could be bigger. But not a bad light tent for just over $100

I got it for $67 on eBay and have used it extensively this past year and I love it! No problems in the rain or wind and even after a night of heavy condensation it did well to keep my dry. And I didn't do any seam-sealing in addition to the factory-sealed seams. I love that it has a side entrance and plenty of room to sit up in.

The only thing I would change is put a zipper on the fly body so the smaller vestibule on the other side of the tent is accessible from the inside like the large vestibule is.

The third night I spent in this tent, the fly ripped during set-up (seem seperated from the fly body).

The two "posts" at the foot end are flimsy and unreliable.

Too much bug netting and not enough water proof tent fabric mean that even when set up very well, the interior of the tent is still subject to "back splash" during heavy rains.

I've found this tent exceptionally prone to condensation.

Finally, the lack of a second hoop (favoring instead the two "posts" at the foot end of the tent) makes it very difficult to get this tent set up in a very taut fashion. The result is a saggy, baggy tent.
