[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1442288, member: 54178"] ssssnake, what Tarptent did you have that was shredded? How did the water get blown in? Was the hem of the fly staked down? TT now provides those hem stake loops. You likely had an earlier model. I've had my TT Moment DW in very high gusts (steady 40 mph with 60 mph gusts according to two weather reports) and no problems B/C it was guyed out. And I used it in a few Rocky Mountain downpours with no leaks. Once I had to stay in that tent in Nevada's northeastern mountains (8,500 ft.) for a 10 hour rain! Still no leaks. Same with my 2 person Tarptent Scarp 2. Never a rain leak in all day rain. FULL DISCLOSURE: I seam sealed all my TT tents instead of paying a bit extra for factory seam sealing. brightwhite, Those Hilleberg tents are about the most durable tents on the planet. But, ya gotta guy tents out for high winds or any make, including Hilleberg, can be destroyed. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
