[pct-l] Shire's Rainbow Tent, thoughts?

[Deems]

What can I say, except this is why I chose Henry's Squall in the past, and 
the Rainbow as my next trail tent. The symbiotic interaction between the 
hiker and the designer-builder is critical to the improvement of the trail 
shelter, adventure gear, and meeting the needs of the hiker is the goal for 
all. I have 30+ years of tents/gear in my gear box, and have found none are 
perfect for every situation.  However, I'm always open to new ideas and 
interesting designs.  I have been in a few situations that were on the 
ultralight hiker's edge of being a nightmare; and I felt it was time for 
more ultralight security.  I did much research via the internet, received 
input from hikers; and after going in a full circle, I am again happily 
seeking my next ultralight shelter from the wilderness storms from Henry. 
You'll hear from me soon. Thanks to all for their pro and con input.

The current generation of Rainbow and Double Rainbow shelters do have a
built-in tension adjuster for the arch pole that takes care of stretch and
particularly shrinkage in very dry conditions. For those of you with the
original model, we're happy to retrofit it with an adjuster (if you want to
send it back) or send you an extra grommet tab to sew onto the end of the
one of the two existing grommets. That will add a "low humidity" position to
the grommets.

Thanks.
