I have not used this for camping yet, but I'm sure it'll do great! The backyard test setup was quick, took me about 7 mins to setup while the wind gusts were up to 30mph. The tent held up strong with the gusts, didn't even flex...inside the wind noise was minimal. Due to the pack weight and size, I would not consider this a backpacking tent...I will use it mainly for car camping.
Here are some specs I got from the ALPS site that include packed size:
