I have a knollwood/texsport and had it out in heavy rain - after nikwaxing and seam sealing it, it's main problem is the door design is retarded - if you use a small tarp over the door, it's just fine, but the design of the front of the tent is idiotic and no amount of seam sealing will keep it from leaking.


Absolutely correct phat. Guide Gear did come out with a version of the Knollwood with a rain flap over the zipper, but they somehow managed to bulk the weight up to almost 4lbs with heavier material.

So I pondered how this tent would do in silnylon, with zipper rain flap - here it is. Tent 24oz (with guyline attached) plus Fibraplex CF poles 4.8 oz.

OK end of my thread drift, I promise <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
