Have had this many years and used it much. high winds n' hard rains to sunny, still days. I have no complaints. I recently seam sealed the fly again. No rips or tears or stink, just a little dirt from alpine meadows to desert sands. Shock cord in poles still 100%. If you don't mind clicking the link doing it all once in a nice formatted package is easire than redoing it ll again here - http://www.summitpost.org/view_object.p ... irm_post=7
