Just received my Solo Plus in the mail yesterday. No netting, with the beak. This will be my shelter for my JMT Thru starting Aug 20 - GETTING CLOSE!!!!
I ordered it just barely 5 weeks before I needed it, that was ZPacks stated lead time. I included an email with my intended plans, and they stated they could ship by Aug 1 - I was happy. Now, I'm even more happy since they beat their estimated ship day substantially. Kudos to ZPacks!!!
I set the Solo Plus up this AM, and it is everything I had hoped. The weight, including all guylines, stuffsack and elastic cords for the floor (I will be removing these, as I use polycryo for a ground cloth) is within a fraction of an ounce of their stated weights. It is lighter than what is stated on the website, but VERY close.
I will probably order their bug inner tent eventually, but for this trip, I'm not planning on having an issue with bugs. Love this flexibility.
We have a 30% chance of rain today and tonight, 50% chance tomorrow and tomorrow night, so hopefully I'll get to check it out in the rain this weekend. My luck, I will have clear, dry weather all weekend.
Just wanted to give ZPacks a public thank-you for their quick, personalized service.
