I also purchased this tent at Sierra Trading Post. I have used this tent in very wet condition and have never had a problem. I also found that the weight is around 9.5 lbs. but am willing to give that up for the quality of the tent. The only real drawback that I have found with this tent is the compression size. It is not a small tent and I have a hard time fitting it into my pack. Other than that I think that this is one of the best tents that I have owned.

First of all it actually weighs 9.5 lbs. Aside from the understated weight this is perhaps the best tent purchase I have ever made. It is very similar to the marmot swallow/hoot with two doors and two huge?xD;?xA; roof panels that zip out to expose mesh and incredibly functional roof and door vents. The polyester fly is?xD;?xA; tight as a drum and the huge front vestibule is large enough to actually cook in. it has numerous guy lines and?xD;?xA; adjusters and a really cool stuff sack that rolls down from the top like a dry bag. The three pole design is the?xD;?xA; same as the marmots with two poles crossing at the top and a third arching across the front to support the?xD;?xA; vestibule. The poles can be fed through the sleeves in only one direction. It is also huge (44sqft). The fly is a light taupe color and lets in plenty of light. It has loops for a gear loft. Interestingly, the footprint from an old Armidillo tent fits this one perfectly. Retails for $300, but because Wolfskin (a great company with great?xD;?xA; products) is leaving the US for good I got it for $100.
