Bit of crosstalk going on. One conversation about waterproof rating and another about ultralight tents. My tent is an example of the latter conversation and I only take it out in summer. I have a 4...

Don't need one, I have an REI one for Backpacking. Had for several years and is still holding up well. I don't like the $99 minimum purchase. Not a bad deal, I prefer a little bigger tent.

I've always thought Alps seemed to nail my personal sweet spot of pretty-good-quality but not-too-expensive camping gear. I'm not a hardcore hiker that will justify spending $300 on an ultralite...

No, it will not fit a queen, or even a twin. Well, maybe a twin if you just have the mattress in the tent and everything else in the vestibule.

I nearly got wet recently in my UL2. The 1200mm rating on the Fly Creek is low when it really gets wet. Maybe the fly coating is bad as it's a pretty new tent.

The mm measurement is literally the amount of rain a fabric can withstand in a 24 hour period. Therefore a rating of 10,000mm means that a fabric can withstand 10,000mm of rain...

Because most of us camp at camp grounds and would rather get a slightly heavier tent but one that could fit 2x queen beds in it (even for just 2 people) for the same price
