Not experienced any wind issues as i haven't used my tent in anger yet, however I tend to agree. When i pitched my Montana Lake for the first time i was pleasantly surprised to see so may variants of closing/zipping/unzipping/removing windows & curtains & flynets & vents & bedrooms & doors & groundsheets. Yet the main method of closing down the outside door was reliant on a couple of inch of velcro..!

When i pegged down the front of the tent to a reasonably taut position it proved really difficult to fasten the small velcro tab. Still really happy with the tent as it suits my family more than well. Still the Montana 6 has some really good design items which unfortunately never made it to my Lake version.

I have an awning fitted so take the issue away slightly. However i will be camping for weekends without so will watch this space.

Rather like the complete strip of velcro fix and can't see this being bettered really. This could end up looking factory fitted too. Would just require fixing from the outside so using the porched entrance only. not an issue as if it is really windy it would make sense to limit access to this point only anyhow. Also at evenings before retiring to the pit, both front and side would need velcro attaching from the outside again using the porched entrance only. I suppose with the Lake i could seal them all up and climb in through a removable window..!
