So when you say incorrect clothing, you mean you have to take more and probably heavier clothing to compensate because your tent is too cold and draughty. Rather defeats the "objective" if you ask me, the weight of the warmer/extra clothing will be heavier than a suitable inner for this country.
This link seems to be about camping in the United States, how is this relevant for people wanting to camp in this country? The climate over there is totally different to ours.
We are still waiting for the trip reports or info about where/how many times you have used your hybrid tent and in what conditions each time. Pity you weren't out with us last night in torrential rain and strong winds. It would have been a wee bit draughty and damp for your tent
Have a look at this video from Daveswildcamping

He calls his tent a drip coffin Fox this man has years of experience wild camping in all conditions. Not user error this, he actually knows what he is doing, his knowledge is based on his experience going out camping and using equipment and not theoretical like your "experience" seems to be.
Fail to understand how you don’t understand regarding cloathing, I don’t take any cloathing or quilt that I will not be warm in and certainly will not kid myself with a lesser rating of equipment to complete my objective, I only take the correct cloathing where I am and don’t over cloath as that would be more weight to carry than needed.
American camp sites yep we have similar soills within our Forests and believe we have hard packed soil together with rocks and open skies and vermin, so fail to acknowledge your comment.
Regarding rain we’ll we has a group meet which I tagged in Dartmoor on the Friday 20th last week hammered down for 6hrs I slept fine and Condensation was like wetting your finger and draw it across your
hand. The tent was excellent as the day before I nearly had all the fly clipped up.
If I was out last night, the tent would be fine just like it was last Friday.
Trip reports never do others do the write up plus don’t have social media nor Fr/ U Tube accounts
The
https://www.yamamountaingear.com/swiftline-2P/ only had it nearly 2months
Done weekends only so far around Essex been great including 4day trip in Dartmoor and worked really well
even though of the changing weather.
Firstly the person has not set the Altaplex tent up correctly, he as the rear of the fly pinned directly to the ground, the tent is designed to be vented and breeze to flow through all round. It’s a tent I wouldn’t buy especially having an vestibule near 8”inch gap between the ground to underside of the fly. I have known people to pack up and go home and also know someone that had his Duplex tear in the wind, also this tent is no longer in manufacture.
Again user error.
