Not very well. But even on the wettest nights (dripping down the walls inside the dome after a session), everything is dry by late morning after buttoning up around 3:00am. It's also not very effective below 5 deg so I'm eying some of the newer models. Also during prolonged wet weather, it will humidistat off and on with it set at the driest setting (40 or 50%). I've been thinking of sealing around the door and the pier but that would leave the some gap around the dome circumference and the the slit so it would be only marginally effective at saving a bit of electricity.
