Thanks for the swift responses!

I hope you're right Henry. In the event that the zippers end up leaking, while my living space wouldn't get wet, I wouldn't be able to say the same for items being stored under the vestibule.

As for the velcro option, I may take you up on your offer. I'll set up my tent first and give it a good soak with the sprinkler. Fingers crossed, hopefully I won't experience any zipper leakage.

By the way, thanks for designing such an awesome product. For the weight it feels like a palace and it's super sturdy to boot. My wife and I endured a pretty intense wind storm at Desolation Wilderness and the Stratospire 2 held strong. Hats off!

Thanks!
