As much as you would like a tent that offers quick setup, you have to make sure that it is able to withstand the elements. The material used and the design should provide you protection from the rain but it should also be well ventilated to keep you warm, dry and comfortable inside. Check the seams to ensure that these are properly sealed and that floors are thick and tear-resistant.

It maybe a problem if you are backpacking so you need to also consider the weight of the tent.
