I think the quechua's are given a pretty bad press in bad conditions
I was told the base seconds would be rubbish in the wind etc etc.
It has been blown and buffeted around in 50mph winds - a few delta pegs and it was solid. Yes the poles are thin but the flexibility works as an advantage in bad weather, as it lets the tent give.
I camped last year for the weekend at Brook Meadows, and as I was going back again the following weekend, just left it for the week. The weather turned mid week and was gales. Dreaded seeing if there was any damage and it was fine - that was with just normal rock pegs on it, as I hadn't anticipated the weather changing
It was quite happy with a nice dollop of snow on it as well
Give it it's due, they are bloody good little tents - I wouldn't hesitate to buy one of the larger quechuas
Poor little thing has been dragged all over the place the last 12 months (the main tent varies, but i always take this as a utility)
