My new Salida 2 got a workout on the first use this weekend with the Boy Scouts. My Webelos son was a guest of the troop and slept in one of their tents, while my younger son & I slept in in the Salida. It rained all day & night Saturday, into Sunday morning. Not everyone else slept wet, but most did. The troop tents are complicated to set up correctly and, consequently, only two of their tents didn't let at least some rain in. The Salida 2 was a breeze to set up. Malcolm & I were comfortable & dry. There was not much room for our gear, but we didn't bring much. If two adults were using the tent there would be virtually no room for gear inside. The design of the rain fly is good, but not perfect. If the wind had been blowing the opposite direction rain may have entered from the back. The fly is pulled away from the tent and reaches the ground on the front & sides, but not on the back. I had to use some twine to pull the fly away from the rear of the tent, and there were several inches of space between the fly & ground. As with the Kelty Crestone 1, air circulated well without allowing in rain.
