The following statement is straight out of my trip journal while on the TransAm tour in 2012.
Kelty Grand Mesa 2. I found it at a good price. I've tested it in some very severe conditions already...very high winds, and horizontal rains! It stayed up (I didn't fly away), and it never leaked a drop. I previously used a Sierra Clip 2 which never failed me. The only problem with it was it was not freestanding. The Kelty is, and has a bit more room, and is less than a pound heavier than the Sierra. It isn't an awful bright orange color either, so if I have to stealth camp, I can do so a little less brightly!
