    Can this tent really withstand high winds or is this guy just trying to advertise

    For $139.00, I'd sure be really, very skeptical as to how durable that tent is, of for how many seasons it would last.

      75MPH is hurricane wind. With that wee bikini-top rainfly I would be sceptical too. It would certainly need very good stakes and guy lines.

          75 mph winds? The Grand Canyon is renowned for hallucinations. It would seem that they experienced them too. :D
          “People have such a love for the truth that when they happen to love something else, they want it to be the truth; and because they do not wish to be proven wrong, they refuse to be shown their mistake. And so, they end up hating the truth for the sake of the object which they have come to love instead of the truth.”
          ―Augustine of Hippo, Fifth Century A.D.

            Lol, thanks for the replies. Thou the tent does seem interesting I've decided to go for a smaller size and less complex.

            http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00627244000P this seems like a good buy for me I'm going to check it out tomorrow I just hope it has the same gurantee and protection against rain/small winds as the other sundomes like http://www.coleman.com/coleman/colem...id=11020&brand=

              The 2 nights we spent at the Grand Canyon we experienced 75 mph winds.. This tent DID NOT MOVE! The only thing we could hear was the wind, not the sides flapping in the wind like most tents.. We have recieved many compliment on this tent..
              Sounds like pure hogwash.
