Bought this tent in 2007 to take to Philmont. My tentmate grumbled about the all mesh, but with the fly on, we stayed comfortable. I began using the tent on Bike Across Kansas from 2010-2017. All mesh is great when the humidity is high and it is hot. One must use the fly for modesty's sake though. I had to waterproof it occasionally though and after such a long life a few issues arose: the grommets for the little cross brace at the top front failed (pulled out), rainwater would pool at the apex and drip into the tent and finally during a torrential thunderstorm one night the rain created a fine mist inside that soon got everything wet. I had to abandon it and go into the school to finish out the night. Even guyed out properly, the tent is susceptible to high winds (15-25 mph) with it's broad sides. Pitching it in the afternoons with high winds, I'd usually open both doors and let the wind blow across. I'm a big guy-6'4/260-and I appreciated the room inside for me and my gear. The vestibules are roomy as well.
