Modified Dome tents are the most commonly seen of all the different sorts of tents you will see when camping. They tend to do better in storms than other types, allowing rain to easily slide off the sloped sides, unlike cabin tents that have flat roofs, resulting in the rain pooling on the roof.

CONS

1. Susceptible to wind. Because of its size and shape, the Red Canyon may not do best in strong winds if it is not firmly secured with the provided guy lines and stakes. Even though the tent is listed as freestanding in all but very calm conditions, one would need to stake and tie it down correctly.
2. Lacking in Headroom. With 11% less headroom than similar sized tents, one can see how this could be a negative thing for some people.
3. Only one room. The Red Canyon is suggested for 8 people, some other tents of a similar size have more than one room allowing for a little more privacy.
4. Only one door. With just one exit to get outside in the middle of the night, it may wake other campers that are sleeping.
5. No Vestibules. If you want to keep your dirty shoes, clothes, and backpacks protected from the elements, you need store them inside the tent.
6. Rainfly does not totally cover the tent. The rainfly only covers the ceiling and part of the tent body from the top. Meaning it might not protect against heavy downpours.
7. Uses Fiberglass poles. Even though the poles are comprised of steel & fiberglass. Using even some fiberglass with a big tent like the Red Canyon 8 could possibly lead to problems, if there were to be extreemly windy conditions.
8. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, The floor may be made of WeatherTec systems patented welded but it is still best to protect it further with a footprint, especially on rough terrain.
