The rainfly is also sealed up excellently to increase this tents wind resistance capabilities.

This tent has a large vestibule, two rooms and doors, color coded poles making tent construction easy. The room and the tent floor measurements give you some nice space.

There is one annoying aspect to this tent though. The windows only close from the outside which means you will have to get up and close them if the winds start to really pick up.

Although this tent does come with color coded tent poles allowing for an easy to understand set up.

Also considering the size of this tent it should be staked down to prevent the wind from lifting it up even though the tent is a freestanding tent. Using stakes as a backup is always a good idea making your tent extra secure.
