I'm in the market for a new light weight 2 man tent and was considering the elixir but the waterproof rating seems lower than some others I'd looked at. One website says that it's because the fabric is silicon coated to improve waterproofing and keep weight down but means that it doesn't perform as well in the test traditionally used. So I was hoping someone who had one would be able to tell me how it has performed in wet and/or windy weather.

Thanks

I've got the elixir 3. It's fine in torrential rain and surprisingly sturdy in heavy wind. I do normally use the groundsheet. Recommended.

Cheers.
