One person eureka zephyr xt for short trips..
Same hear. Holds up well in a storm. A lot of room for a single. You can store all your stuff in it during the day.joneil said:REI Half-Dome. Two person tent. Packs small. We can put it up in the dark with headlights. Very well made.
That's from this weekend up in Mammoth Lakes. Can't see much of the tent but ain't I cute?

That tent does have a floor. But, at that price point I'd still prefer a 2 or 3 pole free standing tent. Sometimes you have to setup in places with very soft ground. I see advantages and disadvantages to the one-pole design but my persona choice is a side opening, free standing, 2 person tent w/1 vestibule..patrickg450 said:no floor? no thanks
I prefer the free standing tents w/side openings as I find them easier to setup and move if you don't like the initial section of land and also much easier to get in/out of. My 1st tent was one you got in/out of from one of the ends and it's just more 'crawling' and not as convenient so I think the halfdome would be fine. I think there's even a half dome plus that's a little longer?Karson said:I've got a Mountain Hardware Lightpath 2 that is a little small for anything beyond a 3 day trip. My rule of thumb is, a 2 person tent will sleep 1 comfortably and a 3 person, 2 comfortably, etc...
The Half Dome 2 looks to be in the middle of that rule. More than ample room for one + pannier storage inside, but enough room to sleep two and throw the panniers inside during the day and perhaps have a little "struggle snuggle" throwdown with the misses once the sun sets. :-*
Thoughts? Can anyone confirm the REI halfdome theory?
