[QUOTE="fmajor, post: 817656, member: 20646"] My experiences with silnylon tents (my TarpTent and one other unknown tent belonging to a hiking pal) in rainy weather were generally favorable given the weight trade-off. However, what I've found in rain is that when big drops are falling they tend to, after awhile, create a sort of "mist" effect inside the tent. It's not like the rain water is just streaming in; Rather it presents as a light mist and getting things inside damp (after an all-night storm). I have observed this on at least 4 occasions from cold, at-timberline-elevation rain to mid-summer storms. Maybe my experiences aren't the norm, but it has affected which tent I pack given anticipated weather. Incidentally, I pitch my tents very taut and 2x seal the seams (I go through 2-3x the recommended seam sealer..... my experiences have made me OCD I guess). [/QUOTE]
