These will last 20 years. They haven't even changed the design.
Also, why are you camping in crazy ass weather? Like I said, a tarp is even cheaper and better when it's hot.
Weather is a thing that happens when you're outdoors.
Camping is not living outdoors permanently. You can choose the dates that you are outside and the place you go, so you can choose the weather too.
Sometimes people go for more than a single day, or you book weeks in advance and have to deal with whatever shit weather you get.
Weather can also suddenly change over a single day.
Especially camping up in the mountains, the weather can change real fast. But I'm not gonna let a little rain stop me, that's why tents have footprints and rain covers.
I have the 2 person version of that tent. It's me through down pours and wind. The only thing more expensive tents have is easy of set up and tear down.
I know. This other dude doesn't. Expensive camping gear is just lighter by a few oz. Just carry less.
