Rated 3 out of 5 by DuDog Tradeoffs
There are tradeoffs with this tent. It is light, small and inexpensive. Those are the pluses. The negatives are that it does not provide the comfort and conveniences of a more expensive tent. Most notably, you cannot crawl into it. You have to snake your way into it feet first. That is fine except when it is raining. That takes effort and time and willallow more rain in your tent than with a conventional design.

The poles splintered and broke upon the second use. So my 8 yr old is now the proud owner of a yellow and black cape.

Rated 4 out of 5 by masseyhiker survied a major storm
Took this tent on a 20 mile hike through RRG this weekend did well till high winds and torrential down pour as stated rain was coming up through the rain fly. Also I us a 6x8 Tyvek ground cloth so there was no rain soaked through the bottom.
Only reason I gave four stars because of the ring where you hook the poles to you almost have to break it to get it together.

Rated 2 out of 5 by campriverrat NOT SO DRY
i set this tent up in the rain, rather easily. but when the ground gets saturated the stakes start to come out and the tent sags. after fighting the stakes it rained so hard the the water was splashing in from between the rain fly and the screen soaking me all night. but it is a great tent in the dry weather or light rain.

Answers
A:
This is a Three-Season Tent, which is strong enough to handle rain in spring, summer, or fall. For high winds, Eureka recommends a 4-season tent. However, they do recommended using guylines to help stay put.When high winds or a storm are predicted, do not count on staking alone to keep your tent secure. Depending on the model, your tent fly has built-in loops or rings at optimal guyout locations. It is important to put in the extra time guying out your tent. Correctly done, it can save your tent during harsh weather.
1. Attach parachute cord to the loops/rings and stake them in the ground three or four feet from the edge of the tent. If staked too close to the tent, wind can cause an upward pull that could dislodge the stakes.
2. Make sure that the top fly is securely attached to the framework underneath. Ties hook and loop closures, or dog-bones and elastic loops are typical fasteners sewn to the underside of the fly for this purpose.
If your tent does not have loops or rings for guyouts, attach guylines 1/3 or 1/2 of the way up the framework on the main sidewalls. This enables the guyline to support the lower section of the pole, while the upper pole can flex the side of the guyout. This will prevent all movement except toward the anchor. The idea is to get the guylines to work together through opposition.
