I have the storm break 2, and it is nice. I will say the rainfly works really good in both ways, and I have found it can get humid and chilly at times without much airflow. I have found having a fan running inside the tent has helped a lot.

The Stormbreak 2 is great. I had the 3 and it stood up to so much rain and wind. The only downsides are the weight and the fly zippers.

I'm also own a NF stormbreak 1 and a stormbreak 2. I love my stormbreak 1, it is small (cozy and easy to find a place to pitch) and very sturdy. The downsides are that it's small and very sturdy (aka heavy), my head touches the top when I sit straight up in the tent and it weighs roughly 3.3 lbs which is not that much less than a lot of budget 2 person tents. I would never even consider taking the stormbreak 2 backpacking.

I love both my Stormbreak 1 and Stormbreak 2 but even the Stormbreak 2 I'd consider very heavy for backpacking, it would be great for car camping though.

I also have this tent and would highly recommend it. I’ll say though I have two friends I camp with that both have 2p Stormbreaks and they seem great and they both like them a lot. I don’t think you could go wrong with either option.

I have a wawona 6 for when I want to be comfortable and haul gear is no issue. I can get it up or down in 15 minutes. Plenty of room for everything and a great vestibule. I also have a Stormbreaker 2 and 3 for when space or hauling matters. More cramped obviously but I can still cram a low cot in there.

Spacious vestibule, strong in storms, but rainfly tricky solo.
