We have the TNF Oval 24, like it quite a bit, never been concerned
about the wind demolishing it; but it does eat up a lot of space.
If folks are going alone, or with someone one doesn't want to 
share a tent with, a tough gore-tex bivy sack might work better.
Takes up much less space, and is virtually indestructable.

I got the big northface job inorder to get my wife to 
occassionally come with me!
