I've used this tent camping in CA, Oregon, and Madagascar. My first use was in 4 days of torrential downpour. dry as a bone, with a huge vestibule created by the awning, for cooking and hanging out watching the rain. On my other trips in the U.S., it was drier and worked very well. It is very easy to pitch, assuming that you're using hiking poles, and that the wind isn't too strong.
On my trip to Madagascar, we used it in a torrential tropical downpour with high winds (I would guess that they were about 50-60MPH) and had a few problems. The tent is pretty wind resistant IF you use multiple guy lines and if you face the rear of the tent into the wind. We may also have been having problems as we were on sand, and despite burying the lines and stakes, they may not have been as stable as if they were in packed dirt/rock.We needed to guy all of the available points before we could even get the tent up, and in the middle of the night, the wind reversed direction by 180 deg and ripped down the tent in an instant. The air vents can't be closed, and it was kind of like someone had a garden hose at high flow coming in onto us. not as much fun as it sounds.
Despite that, I love this tent. It's the lightest tent I've ever had to carry, is incredibly large, easily fitting me (5' 10") and my wife (small) and all our gear without any problems. Other than the blowdown, it's incredibly waterproof, and I haven't had any problems with the condensation. In fact, compared to some double walled tents I'd used in the past, this was noticeably drier because of the permanently open vents above the front door under the awning, and in the back under the back awning/flap thingy. You get a nice breeze throught the thing, which is great most of the time, unless it's really cold out. I'd buy it again, or look at the new MSR Fling, which is slightly heavier, but even larger and doesn't require hiking poles.
