This pic is from day 3 on the AT. Use of side ties (which I have) can somewhat eliminate this. The tent’s bomber design has no problem managing 30mph wind gusts, as it did during a night in the Goat Rocks Wilderness.

Pretty large footprint | The ProTrail requires a space approximately 9 feet long by 7 feet wide. . I’m 6’1″ and have no problems lying down completely stretched out.
