I love that there's a quote from someone under the clip from the inside of the tent asking 'does it take the wind and rain well?' hmmmmmm...........

Also look at 'tent destoryed by storm' (their typo, not mine!)

That'll ruin your weekend!

Had some lovely wind gusts on my Icarus a few weeks ago in teesdale, thought id pitched right but the wind swung round in the valley and got it full force in the front, had to use our vango windbreak to help take the force of the wind, and also made sure all the guys where out and tight , got woke up in the night due to the amount of shaking in the hard gusts, but morning came and all was still in one piece.
Was very impressed, the TBS helps a lot, but its still a tall tent and will catch any wind thats about, also had my canopy out before that is quite stong winds and its been very sturdy.
