I like the looks of the Sublite tent by Traptent. The long, skinny "A frame" style is a design which I've been looking for and the price is right.
The SMD Luna solo which I've been using for the last 5 years has served me well, but it takes a fairly large cleared area to pitch properly and the sides tend to droop when they get wet. Then the foot of my bag touches the wall and wicks water. The Sublite is more stream lined and only uses short guys in the front and back.
The only concern I have with the Sublite is the specs say it isn't good in heavy or prolong rain. I'm wondering if anyone here has used this tent in a T-storm or all night rain and how it faired? I suppose adding a tarp to cover it wouldn't be deal breaker, but rather not have too....
