    Default tarptent sublite sil or contrail????

    I cant decide which I prefer.

    Sublite is less weight
    contrail has a vestibule and more room
    sublite better in severe weather
    sublite has side entry


    Which would you choose?

    Personally, I enjoy a Vestibule in when there's severe weather.

    18.5oz - Sublite
    24.5oz - Contrail

    I think 6oz is worth the convenience. If it were me, I'd go with contrail.
    up over the hills, theres nothing to fear
    theres a pub across the way with whisky and beer
    its a lengthy journey on the way up to the top
    but it ain't so bad if you have a great big bottle o'scotch
