more water resistant

How can something with no sides be more water resistant?

•

platypus in reply to @hippy

because it's not touching you and your sleeping bag
so breathability isn't an issue
so it can be 100% water proof

if you pitch it even half-decently not having sides is no disadvantage

I must be missing something. I can lie in mine in the rain and be dry. What happens if it's windy and raining with tarp? Rain comes around the sides, no?
