Newbie to the site but not to backpacking...
I'm interested in the Big Sky Revolution 1P 2D tent http://www.bigskyinternational.com/SummitShelters/Big_Sky_Revolution_1P_details.htm for solo b'packing but after reading all the bad experiences everyone's had with delayed orders and poor customer service I don't know if I should. I'm also looking at Henry Shires Rainbow http://www.tarptent.com/rainbow.htmlas my other choice. My Hubba Hubba is a perfect tent for solo backpacking but if I can save a couple pounds then I'm all for it.
The Revolution has the option of two doors and vestibules and possibly better ventilation as compared to the Rainbow, a concern here in the deep south (Ga., N.C.) where I hike most of the time. Has Big Sky finally gotten their act together? Should I just go ahead, be safe and order from Henry and be done with it :confused:
Any thoughts and opinions would be greatly appreciated.
