IMPORTANT: THIS VIDEO DOCUMENTS AN INTENTIONAL TESTING EXPERIENCE USING AN ULTRALIGHT TENT. THE EXPERIENCE I HAD WITH THIS TENT DOES NOT REFLECT THE OVERALL PERFORMANCE OR QUALITY OF THE TENT IN THE TYPICAL CONDITIONS FOR WHICH IT IS DESIGNED, AND IS IN NO WAY A REFLECTION OF ANY INHERENT LIMITATIONS OF THE TENT. ULTRALIGHT TENTS ARE NOT DESIGNED FOR EXTREME STORMS, REGARDLESS OF THE MAKE AND MODEL.
