Looks good but don’t see any weather specs – max wind speeds etc. You don’t want to end up like VP8SSI ! 73, Paul
Several of us put one of these up and they are amazing. Bob, the expedition leader has 35 years of expedition experience – and in climates like Heard, Peter One, etc. He confirms that these compare favorably (actually better) than the “Weather Haven” tent, and that these are rated for very extreme conditions – extreme wind, snow, rain, etc, etc.
