[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 2035511, member: 54178"] AkNimrod, While the pricey and excellent quality Hilleberg Akto is a long time favorite (decades long!) I chose the similar Tarptent Moment DW for several reasons. 1. ability to have a longitudinal Crossing Pole for wet snow load and wind resistance 2. much more aerodynamic ends that also shed snow far better. 3. dual doors/vestibules In fact I shortened my Crossing Pole 6 inches and ran it under my moment's fly for even better fly support. For situations where there is [B]any[/B] chance of snow the Moment DW is a better choice and for quite a bit less money. I've had 5 Tarptents over the past 15 years and still own 3 of them. They are only a bit below Hilleberg's build quality but above other tentmaker's quality. I have often spoken directly to the owner, Henry Shires, and the customer service has always been the very best. [/QUOTE]
