I'm going to cut to the chase. I need a tent that will keep out blowing sand.
I'm looking for a roomy two person tent for my girlfriend and I. I'll be carrying the tent, since she's had shoulder surgery and is vulnerable to reinjury, so I want it to be light.
I have a Big Agnes Fly Creek UL 2 and I am a big guy so needless to say I've figured out that two people plus gear aren't going to be comfortable in that tent. I am generally happy with the tent after studying the details of its construction during rain delays :) and seeing it won't fall apart as I first expected. The engineering is top notch and I'm a Big Agnes fan especially for the price, they're a great value. The Fly Creek UL 2a great one guy and a dog tent. It's cozy but the tent has limited view to the outside because of the vestibule design.
I also came to own a Six Moon Designs Lunar Solo which is an early version but I think the design and function of the tent is amazing. The increased views compared to the Fly Creek and cross ventilation in the summer make it my favorite tent yet.
So, I've looked a the Six Moon Designs Lunar Duo and it's my top candidate. It has a basically see through layout with the two side doors and vestibules which I like. It is also very light with nice headroom but I wonder if they'd make it in Cuben for me. (I'm thinking this could be my last tent ever. Lol. ) My one concern for the tent is this: if you are at the beach or in a desert environment (I'm considering some Southwest travel) what is the bottom screen doing to keep blowing sand out of the tent? If I'm asking for too much wanting a single wall tent to perform at that level I guess maybe I should look at another tent like a Hilleberg Annan or a Big Agnes Copper Spur UL 3.
I'd appreciate some feedback from Lunar Duo users and of course any other ideas anyone might have for us.
