Glad you asked that question.
Last October is was up in the mountains with this and a bad storm hit at about 1AM. it was perfect. The sides are really strong and the roof is even stronger. When you add the rain fly, its even better.

it is pretty heavy, but it does fold up pretty nice and compact.

I've had that happen to me numerous times waking up in a pool of water Mad That Cot tent thing looks very interesting. Do they sell it in stores not online?

I've seen this thing in many catalogs, and it's a good thing. Very Happy But too heavy to carry on a hiking trip. Sad

One could probably make one of these out of some waterproof duckcloth and aluminum poles. It wouldnt stand up to much, but could be a spring/summer/fall shelter. Just an idea.
