After my sleeping bag soaked through on a rainy Oregon coast trip, I realized most reviews don't mention how long a tent's rainfly really takes to dry.

I spent a miserable morning in a damp, 45-degree fog because my 'quick-dry' fly was still heavy with dew after 4 hours, which made me check the seams on all my gear.

Everything's "quick-dry" until you actually need it.

Ever notice how many things are labeled "quick" or "easy" that just aren't? River182 is right about quick-dry stuff, but it's the same with "instant" meals or "one-click" setups. They always seem to need way more time or steps than they promise. It makes you wonder if the label is just there to get you to buy it.
