Great tent, but if you are planning on using it in heavy rain make sure that you cure the t/c fabric first by exposing it to some water and allowing it to dry. Repeat this process 2 or 3 times, and then the fabric, and especially the seams, will have expanded and contracted sufficiently to have become more sealed and watertight. After this process, the tent will fare better in heavy rain. To improve your camping experience even more, this tent is best when you add a groundsheet and even better if you buy the Soomloom interlocking door panel to make it bigger!
