Golite Hex 3

[Marta]

To fuel my ongoing fantasies about buying a new tent...

Does anyone have one of these?

How hard is it to pitch?

If you've got the Nest, do you also use the floor?

Is it a good place to hole up in bad weather?

How warm is it?

How does it react to wind?

Hi Marta,
Just had the Hex out this past weekend, a great foul weather palace. Have been using the Hex for a few years now as my winter shelter of choice. Held up well in extreme winds, tested on the summit of mt Lafayette with 35-40 mph winds. Have had a foot plus of snow dumped on it with no ill effects. Holds in heat very well in extreme cold, have been using a stove inside, was easy to vent without floor or inner nest.
Highly recommend this shelter
