I have this same model and used many times in the wild and never had an issue in the cold wet and windy Irish weather! Bone dry and sturdy everytime. Couple of tips though, 1) instead of inserting the poles directly after the laying and pegging the ground sheet, instead lay the inner layer over the groundsheet and then insert the poles, otherwise you have to remove the poles from the groundsheets eyelets and insert them again to allow the inner tent to be secured to each corner. Then insert the pegs to the groundsheet as this allows for better spreading. 2) I removed all the tent and groundsheet from their individual bags and pack them all together in one small 3 liter dry bag, apart from the poles and the pegs I keep these in their original bags and pop the pegs into the pole bag, this easier to unpack and repack the whole tent as you don't need to roll it up perfectly and you can cram the inner, the outer and the groundsheet into the same bag.

When it has rained all night, doesn't the nylon absorb some of that wetness? If yes I'll probably opt for the polyester version which as far as I understand is much more water resistant.

The funny thing is that the I length of the Cloud up 2 Upgraded is actually shorter than their 1 person tent. So if you are taller and only need a 1 person tent that one would be the better choice (supposedly 20cm longer!). Also the vestibule is 5 cm longer. Of course not as wide though.

The ground sheet weighs 202 grams including the mat pouch on my Salter scales.

What has your experience been with the window? My experience with a Big Agnes UL tent ($$$) that used that window design was that the velco patch could not hold the window flap closed in a wind, the rod that props the flap open funneled rain into the tent, and that the velcro patches weren't sealed inside, so rain just dripped through onto the mesh. It looks like it would cause real problems if the wind was from the door's direction -- but you also can't rotate this tent so that the wind is from the sides, as it isn't well supported from the sides with its pole design.

You're right, you need to be really careful which direction you pitch your tent. From the back it's very streamlined. From the side it is not! There's a bit of flapping on the sides if the wind changes direction. Personally, I won't take any budget tent in really windy conditions.

I prefer tents exactly for 1.5 person because you have some space for your baggage, but there is no place for other person, that's ultimate life hack for camping with other people. I have no problem let someone sleep in my tent, but you know people, they are drunken while camping and I don't want vomit inside, I want to just sleep there. Other people are always like "I don't need tent, I just use someone's tent," I understand it, it's enough to take 2 big tents when you are traveling with 4 people, but it's also very irresponsible count on that, I travel mostly by train, so they just can't force me carry some big tent for more people, they are traveling by cars and they are lazy even take some extra tent, I just don't understand it, why should I carry that? People are weird.
