I had to choose tents for field work on Santa Rosa Island, which has an absolutely balmy climate (never below freezing), but often experiences ferocious winds- 60 mph is not at all exceptional. I went with North Face VE-25s and they did very well, although one crew member did manage to wreck one by pitching it in a very scenic, but highly exposed, location. I wouldn't necessarily recommend that specific model (weight was not a major consideration for us) but the principle applies.
