I have had my sunshade for 10 years and it's still one of my favorite pieces of gear. Its height and ground coverage are adjustable offering a variety of solutions to differing wind and weather. It's not for backpacking as it weighs in at over 12 lbs but it's proven indispensable for winter fishing/camping/summer family trips. The shelter has guy loops (includes cords) on each of three sides that allow you to choose the best rig for the wind and rain direction / intensity. Its dome design allows it to give, absorb wind load and still provide excellent coverage in the worst of wind and rain. We've weathered many a snow or rain storm while still being able to cook and eat under the shelter (we've comfortably sheltered as many as six adults in a severe rain storm). The poles, sleeves and covering have proven to be durable, breathable and fast drying. After 10 years (25 days/year) of hard use, mainly in the winter, it still has yet to leak a drop. Incidentally it allows two stakes per corner for redundant anchoring. Its size is perfect to completely cover a concrete picnic table, like those generally encountered in NFS areas, and still allow an ample sitting area for two. It has saved many a trip and it's well worth the money.
