<p>I've been researching tents to replace some low-quality dome tents that each have had a <a href="http://r1.coleman.com/ProductImages/Full/2000007828_500.jpg">partial rainfly</a>. Every tent I've owned that has had a partial rainfly has performed horribly in the rain (I pitched them correctly and used guylines when available). I have a tent that has a <a href="http://demandware.edgesuite.net/aakn_prd/on/demandware.static/-/Sites-bdel/default/dwf7d960a7/products/shelter/810195_vista_fly_mrgldgy_ptopn_web.jpg">full-coverage rainfly</a> and has performed quite well. </p> <p><strong>What are the pros and cons of a full-coverage rainfly?</strong> </p> <p>I'm mostly interested in three-season responses aimed at temperate and subalpine climates, but wouldn't mind four-season/winter responses, as well as other climates.</p> <p><em>Disclaimer: The images linked were chosen arbitrarily to illustrate my description.
