Hmmmm. I read it closer. Waterproof barrier, water resistant finish, yet it says it's breathable. I call bulls**t. I'm no expert, BUT, can you explain how it can be BOTH water proof, and water resistant? And why would you want both at the same time? Resistant for light moisture conditions, water proof for full out rain. Breathable is a necessity for both instances. For $70 on sale at REI the Novara, as mentioned earlier sounds to be the way to go. Don't like it, take it back. Nice warranty. Spend 3+ hours at REI this past weekend looking at tents, sleeping pads, and sleeping bags. What kinda tent did you get?
