Hi everyone...my wife and I are trying to figure out the pros and cons of getting the $160 Lunar Duo Outfitter vs the Lunar Duo Scout at twice the price...as far as we can tell, they are the same design, but use different materials, resulting in the lower priced one being 1 lb heavier.
Part of me wants to get the more expensive one as we have moved towards getting lighter (just got Enlightened Equipment quilts, and I am using an Osprey Talon 44 this year when I get to start hiking after tax season). The problem is that funds are getting tight.
My questions are:
Does anyone have the Lunar Duo Outfitter? If so, how do you like it?
My wife is concerned that the LD is just a summer tent since it is has no side walls where the vestibules are, it's just mesh. I tried to tell her that since you can cinch the vestibules down pretty far, that the wind in colder weather would be kept out for the most part...does anyone have any experience with the LD in cold weather, and how do you think it does in blocking the cold winds?
Thanks in advance for any advice. Anyone who owns the light LD can chime in as well, as it is the same design.
