How well does the tent endure rain and wind, say 30mph for brief storms?

It stood up well in a night-long rain/snow mix, though I had it covered with a plastic tarp. There was some wind, maybe 15 mph, which is why I used the tarp for warmth. I have not used it in a 30 mph wind.

Provided it's appropriately staked & guyed-out, it will be fine. The only possible issue would be the unlikely event of horizontal rain angling to the vent.

Wind is going to be factor of how well you stake out the tent. If you are going to be in a lot of rain, you'll want to use the little ropes included to pull the fly away from the tent so water drains off. I recommend getting some MSR stakes as those are much hardier compared to the cheap ones included with the tent.

It did fine in the wind. We had one day with strong winds that would make the tent bend a bit but it never pulled loose from the stakes in the ground. We didn't even used the sandbags.

This tent is designed to withstand more wind than the ones with the rigid metal support. I think it works great. I put mine up last summer and left if up for 4 or five months in Montana where it is very windy - train cars get blown off of tracks. Awning was fine. I would recommend any EZ-UP product. They are all made well. The only applications where I would not use this particular awning would be if you were going to hang something form the cross pieces. These supports are like the supports in most tents. Feel free to ask more specific question.

The tent held up pretty well. It was unfortunately stormy when I used it, but we were nice and dry inside. It doesn't hold heat very well, due to the ventilation, so I wouldn't recommend it for colder weather. The front canopy over the door stayed in place fairly well. I had to re stake it after the rain soaked the ground, but only in a couple spots. The bottom of the tent held up nicely against any flooding our campsite got, and didn't tear from the cot we were using. I was really surprised at how well we stayed dry, we were expecting warm dry weather and got a sudden rainstorm that lasted all weekend. The tent held up pretty well.

the tent held up to heavy mist, fog, light rain very well. I was warm & cozy. Tent dried out quickly once the came out.

I set mine up on a concrete patio to see if I could fit my tent underneath it and it seemed to work o.k. like that. I don't know if it would withstand any wind to speak of, though.

not sure how, but this tent lasted through some very strong wind and rain. It stayed dry inside and was very roomy and comfortable. We had a pretty bad storm hit us last labor day while on vacation and we rode it out in this tent. I must be honest and say the two front poles buckled during the wind gusts a couple times. It was an easy fix though they popped right back out. Im still a satisfied customer

I have used my Kodiak in Alaska for months at a time due to my job. I have experienced probably all the weather conditions you can imagine. In strong winds I just take the awning down and the tent does fine; it is just a matter of now well you set your stakes. I have also used this tent in -10 degree weather with just a propane Buddy heater with no problems. Rain, wind, snow, not a big deal for this tent.

I have not had it up in heavy wind. I'm no expert but I would think anything tent or umbrella like will not hold up well in heavy wind. A beach breeze is no problem though with both sides open for ventilation. Does that help?

We used ours at the coast last year and it rained during the first day. It was a misty rain, nothing really hard but it was steady. Everything in side seemed fine. I would bet it couldn't handle a downpour for an extended period but most tents will eventually leak if it rains long enough. It should handle a summer rain.

It does but it's only good for short storms. It even handled some light hail one day. We did on the other hand, used it during an all day rain event and we got very wet inside. It can leak from my experience. It is a nice and roomy tent but I recommend using some waterproof sealer on the rain fly.Chris

It is built with a good anchoring system, but I have not had to use it under extreme conditions such as high wind. Apart of the design that I found to be a problem is the angle of the walls. The way the walls are angled in from the base does not for allow enough coverage from rain. Even a light rain. If they were to increase the dimension of the roof, a little closer to the dimension of the base; more space would be useable inside the tent when it rains.

It isn't durable to endure bad weather but it is easy enough to set up and tear down if you wanted to have it outside to play during nice weather. For the most part it is an indoor tent, but would be fin to take outside to play for an afternoon.

This is a great beach tent or yard tent it snaps together in about 30 seconds. and its durable against pretty high winds weighs apx 2 pounds and comes in a carrying case. :D

I have used it in breezy conditions (but not heavy winds) and it held up. However, the canopy is quite large and it catches the wind. It will be hard to manage in heavy winds. It is sturdier than most umbrellas sold today.

My antenna has survived 70 mph gusts, and constant 30-35 mph winds and still performing great. John

Yes this tent is absolutely great in bad weather. There are 6 places where you can stake the tent into the ground and maybe 6 more places where you can tether the shell. So yes it will withstand the wind very well as well as the rain.
