Dot,

According to folks in my video 2000 Miles to Maine, the  Wanderlust
leaks. So maybe you want to get a different tent. (Can you get  your
money back?) We love our Sierra Designs Clip Flashlight. Ten  years
plus... And if you want to order the DVD you can Google 2000 Miles  to
Maine. Its shown to great response at Trail Days -- over 100 people  saw
it. You can also just click this funky link to go directly to the  page

If it leaks, it's the buyers fault. We are the ones that are  supposed to 
seal it.
My Nomad Lite went with me on my Thruhike in 2003 and never leaked 
(except the 2 places I forgot to seal). It will gather condensation, since  
it 
is sil nylon, but no leaks. No one I have spoken to that owns one listed 
leaks as a complaint, they all loved the tent. For a one person  tent...
 
Now as for the clip flashlight, I have one of those too. I love it. But  it's 
3 
pounds heavier than my Wanderlust, Nomad Lite. Good if you need a 2 
person tent, with better winter warming properties (2 of us spent the night 
in -5 temps and were OK). If you want Wanderlust 2-4-2 raves, many people 
on the list use those on their thruhikes too.
