i'm trying to narrow down my choices for which tent i want to bring and i have a few picked out. one that i have picked out is the lunar solo, from six moon designs (http://www.sixmoondesigns.com/shop/shopexd.asp?id=36) and i just want to know if this tent is worth bringing

where are you going? i assume camping, but when and where? how long?

I was looking at that one and the Tarp Tent Contrail, http://www.tarptent.com/contrail.html , I went with the Contrail due to ventilation. If your looking at weight, the Contrail ends up being lighter after adding the regular floor to the SixMoons tent.
I just ordered the Contrail not even 5 minutes ago! Tlaked with the owner he said the tent will be ready to ship about the middle or end of next week.

Oh yea, the Contrail comes as it is in the photo, the only thing you need to supply is the front pole (hiking stick is what I will be using to cut weight)

im going on a no-bo thru-hike of the at, so i'll be using it for a while if that answers question.

You can't go wrong with the Lunar Solo-e. AT 23 ounces, it's MORE than worth brining. Amazing shelter for the weight.

If you want to go lighter take a look at the Wild Oasis from Six Moon Designs

Website specs it at 13 ounces but mine came in at 11 ounces. I just got back from hiking a section in Maine (Rangeley to Monson) and that was the shelter I carried. Loved it. Took a 3 oz piece of Tyvek along as a ground cloth.

The lunar solo is nails. I am a big fellow and I fit in mine comfortablely along with my pack aaaaaand boots. Great in the rain, though I did seam seal mine. great shelter for the weigh and packs down really small.

is the fabric very durible, or does it seem like it will give away after a month or 2 of use?
