A four-person, extremely roomy teepee shelter, the time-tested and popular Megamid weighs only three and a half pounds and can be pitched over a snow-pit or rocky ground where other tents couldn’t dream of going. A net-covered vent at the top of the door encourages air flow while weather flaps around the door increase the Megamid’s storm resistance. The optional, detachable floor has been constructed using waterproof fabric and it attaches with a button-and-loop system. Use it anytime you need a waterproof floor or just a little added protection.

Untitled ReviewGoing with a teepee setup is pretty cool as it provides a lot of room. However, if you're doing a mountaineering trip you'll find that with your gear and your partners gear it becomes a 2 person tent IMO. Definatly 3 people if you hang it from a tree. With no gear it can easily sleep 3, 4 if you don't like to move at all or have your room
The Mid is versatile as it sets up quickly, is lightweight, small and can work with a trekking pole, included pole, stick or hang it from a tree. It fits over obstacles easily. As for holding up against the wind it's pretty sturdy though it will be loud (flapping) and it helps to have good anchors, obviously. I've used this tent in the mountains, in the desert, and everywhere in between, it's great even in the snow.
