[QUOTE="jmden, post: 666788, member: 1742"] Looking closely at ordering a TarpTent Rainbow: [url=http://tarptent.com/rainbow.html]Tarptent Ultralight Shelters[/url]. At 2 lbs. 2 oz., it is 1 oz. heavier, but much bigger floor area (40" x 88"...now that's good 1 person tent living space and a 43" interior height) and some livability features (such as 2 built in ventilation vents at the peak and some flexible pitching options with the vestibule door, among others). Less $ too. Ventilation is so key and I'm kicking myself for not thinking enough about that before ordering the Easton. I'll report back on the Tarptent Rainbow. BTW, the Bibler Torre and the Marmot Swallow I have both have built in ventilation features but this seems to be a very rare feature in most lightweight backcountry tents. Just fyi, Marmot seems to be one of the few big name, 'mainstream' manufacturers that consistently offers ventilation in the fly of some of their tents. Nemo has some venting in some of their tents as well. A dryer tent interior is worth it a little extra $. [/QUOTE]
