[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1788727, member: 54178"] At 18.7 oz. in Dyneema fabric this expensive solo tent ($600.+) will lighten your wallet as well as your load. The Tarptent Notch Li is a solo backpacker's dream. And with the "partial solid" inner tent it's good for a snowstorm. Partial Solid means ripstop nylon 2/3 of the way up for protection from windblown dust and spindrift snow with netting on the top and top sides for good ventilation to reduce condensation. Plus 2 vestibules and 2 doors, one for your gear and one for the entrance and cooking in bad weather. The Notch Li is hiking pole (or TT carbon fiber pole) supported to save more weight. The Dyneema floor absolutely will not leak and the Dyneema fly never stretches when wet as silnylon does. Plus it is stronger than silnylon, by a lot. OK, so you want a 2 person Dyneema tent? Try the Tarptent Stratospire 2 Li. Even a more wind-worthy design with nice vestibules and, like the Notch LI, it is a double wall tent to handle condensation and give a bit more warmth. Granted these are expensive tents due to the cost of Dyneema fabric but you can still buy them in silnylon for a lot less. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
