I slept in it in this tent in the most awful weather: strong gale, snow, rain and hail. I can conclude that it is absolutely windproof. The sleeping compartment though is 95% waterproof. No water actually reaches you but you can see the droplets on the inner lining. The porch area is not that waterproof though. The inside of the fabric in this area was wet with water occasionally dripping down. May be it is water from condensation, I cannot really tell.

You can fit three persons in it but it will be very tight, absolutely no room to move. It is perfect for two persons, it should be a tent for two, not three.

Everything else is fine, easy set up, etc

We use one of these for weekend or overnight trips. Easy to put up and pack away. Just the right size for two adults and the usual weekend gear. Porch area is very handy and build quality is very good for the price. Waterproof and windproof !

A great tent and great value for the price

A great little tent and would be roomy enough for two. I slept out in it through the most awful weather, torrential rain and extreme winds. It stayed where it should and felt very safe and warm inside. Quick and easy to put up and take down. Good head height inside. Nice sized 'porch' area at front, great for the muddy boots!

All in all a fab little tent that is not too little.
