I use it in the desert where there is almost no rain but some night and morning mist. I end up sleeping in a sponge because it is not even water resistant and certainly not water proof!!!

These poles have been useful during emergency cover from the rain. They are durable and extremely sturdy. They are easy to use and break down to a manageable size to put away in a bin

This does exactly what it should, the stakes are great and the tie downs are a nice touch. I've used it in a few storms and it seems very sturdy. The reason for the 4-star review is that it's really difficult to pack away, more so than any other fly I own. That bag is just too small to deal with. Might be okay car camping or in nice weather, but if the ground is muddy it's almost impossible to pack away without touching the ground. I end up rolling it up and shoving it in my pack to deal with when I get home, which is far from ideal--and forget fitting those stakes in the bag with the fly. I'm planning to try and find a bag that will fit it better and use that instead, but it's frustrating that I need to buy something to store it in.

This tent is prefect. Took about 20 minutes to put up. Wasn't very difficult. I had a cot in it with plenty of extra room. Im 5'5 and was able to stand in the middle of the tent. there is plenty of room for one or two ppl. Maybe more but it was just me with a cot. That took half the tent. Im sure two cots could fit with no problem.
The real highlight is a severe storm rolled in during my camping trip. If you know anything about Texas storms they are windy with lots of hail, rain and lighting. This tent stood strong. Blowing a bit in the wind but I never worried about the tent collapsing on me. It also remain bone dry. Zero rain got inside. My one and only Complaint is the zipper is cheap. But it worked fine and did the job. Im buying at least 2 more of these tents. Just to have on standby.

Purchased 10 tents to give to homeless people. The fabric is tissue paper thin. Doesn't appear to be water proof from rain, because the fabric is just too thin & opening covers are separate, not secured around openings, & attached with small ties on ends. Covers are small & would be lost or blown away easily because of small size & poor attachment design, (not secures all the way around openings). Might be water resistant. Not popup, has a bunch of rods that have to be put together to hold the tent in shape. There are no assembly instructions. If a single rod is lost, then the tent becomes useless. I don't think that the tent is durable or will be useful for very long. Certainly, not very useful in bad weather. I expect it will either fall apart or rip. The best thing about the tent is the carrier. It's made of vinyl & pretty sturdy. It's a shame that the tent is not made of same fabric. Might be fine for kids to use for play inside the house. Cheap, but I expected better from description. Dissappointed.

Just… NOPE!
Pops up easy alright! Two intelligent adults took 30 minutes to try and figure how it folds back up. Once folded. Sent back!
