Used it now about 3 weeks
Main part was 10 days in New Zealand. Held up to 77 knot gusts on the kestrel.. it blew harder but I didn't want to ruin my wind meter so didn't pull it out. Average wind over 5 days was 40 knots. Rain snow and sleet.
Things unreal. Went through 5 shelters trying to find something ideal. This works and only 90$ or so.
2 downsides. It does stretch so you gotta readjust as it wets out
The other is that it uses ur trekking poles (duh?) so a bit of a compromise vs a single trekking pole.
It's not crazy light either but man is it nice having room to groove during the shitwinds
