[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1441337, member: 54178"] There are a lot of very nice tents on the market. BUT... here is one way to narrow your search for a one or two person backpacking tent. When setting a tent up in a storm you MUST have a tent that keeps the inner tent and the fly together [I]before [/I]the poles go on. This keeps the inner tent nice and dry. Any tent that requires you to set it up inner tent 1st, then poles, THEN fly means the inner tent will get soaked in a storm. Yeah, food for thought, especially if you own one of these beauties. P.S. And a final word on "storm-worthy tents". Any tent whose opened fly door lets rain or snow fall directly onto the floor is not a good design. Most of these are the so-called "wedge" shape tents. Been there, done that. :eek:( You need a tent that has a decent vestibule to store your pack and boots and even to cook in during nasty storms. SUGGESTION: Yes, I'm a supporter of Tarptents and I recommend them for their storm-worthy designs. They have a big line of one and two person tents. AND they are all "Made in USA". Eric B. [/QUOTE]
