I've been using the Super 6 tarp and the 8.5 x 6 flex bow tent for two years. I recently returned from a 6 week trip where both the tarp and tent were subjected to nearly constant 10-15 mph wind (gusts upwards of 30 mph), sun, rain, and hail. Both the tent and tarp performed perfectly. No bent poles, snapped lines, rips, etc. (Note: I would recommend putting the tarp down in winds exceeding 25 mph.)
