Has anyone had experience with this tent? I am especially concerned about how well it may stand up to a good ol' Connecticut T-storm or other downpour. Thanks.

I own the Black Diamond Lighthouse. Basically, a slightly larger version of the First Light. This tent is top notch. I did a 4 day trip back in January in Pisgah, and it was a steady rain w/ downpours for 47 of 56 hours we were in camp. The tent performed beyond my expectations. I have absolutely no concerns about any weather condition when I have my Lighthouse with me. I wouldn't be concerned about any rain with your First Light.

Definitely an echo going on in here. 3 threads, same posts.
