Easily.

That's by far my biggest gripe with my TarpTent, I've quickly gotten fed up with having to re-tension the tent several times per night in sustained rain.

If Henry offered his tents in spinnaker or cuben, I'd be looking to purchase one of those, rather than jumping ship and getting into tarping.

For how well thought-out every other part and feature of TarpTent's offerings are, it baffles me why they use an inferior material when better materials are available.

Oh well...
