Theres no name on it, it was really inexpensive when I got it a few years ago. but its water proof as long as theres a good plastic sheet under it with good drainage so its not laying in a pool of water. I've been in it in the rain and its a bit claustrophobic, so i take a small 2person hiking tent with me anyway unless its just for a single night out. The big advantage is its so fast to setup and takedown, its great for biking. If I'm hiking i don't mind spending some more time at camp to give my feet a rest and cook. but if i'm biking i bike till dark and want to get going again first thing in the morning. when i'm biking I'm closer to civilization so i eat at restrauants or grocery stores.
