I have used my 6 man costco tent on Gull, wab and pigeon on a very windy day. I have had zero issues. All of my windows are fine, and i have learned how to get it back into the bag. Its easier in warm weather but can be done on a cold lake. The only issue is that the flaps on the windows let too much light in and the you really need to toss snow around the outside to ensure a good seal (stupid short skirt). Other than that its a great tent so far. It is a pain in the butt to heat though do to the size. My other 4 trips i used my three man eskimo also bought from costco (last year).

I dont notice any difference between the 600 and 300 denier fabric between the two tents so i dont know how much of an issue that is. Ifd you dont like the costco tent or are worried about the quality i would recommend an eskimo.
