I don't really know. Mine has never seen more than 10 knots, tops. My Sierra 
Designs Clip Flashlight CD (will they please shorten this name) has seen gales 
and it's a very nice tent. At 170 USD and 3 pounds 12 ounces it is a great 
dollar and weight bargain. It's a lot hotter than the Hennessey, too, in the 
tropics. As a final thought, I think you'd find it easy to sand pitch it, but how 
you did it matters when the wind blows.

Cheers,
