They missed the mark on the vestibule fly. I was looking at this tent but the way the vestibule zips open and secures to the side instead of along the top seam prevents it from being propped up and open for ventilation as well as protection from light rain like the King's Peak 2. Too bad too, it's on sale at REI Outlet right now for under $100.
According to the Alps website they say it is "weatherproof". From my experience, I have had it in some pretty wet conditions and it seems to be pretty waterproof. You do however get a lot of condensation build up inside. It's never leaked or anything, I am just assuming it might be a lower IP rating. Hope that helps!
@@onyol2934 No. This is not a freestanding tent. The 2 tent pole rods can only be held up if they are ran through the tent first then each corner of the tent has to be staked down. Hope that answers your question.
Thanks for the video, very helpful. I think I am going to stick with my old free standing, even though its a bit bigger and heavier.

Yeah that's a good point! It's also a little tough to lean all the way forward to reach the zipper to open it.
You’re cute. LolI was hoping that it would come together like magic. Lol. But you made it easy!
Yeah I wish it was that easy! hah Thank you!
