[pct-l] tarptent vs. six moons designs

[Jeffrey Olson]

I owned both.  I used the Lunar Solo for a weeklong trip and sold it on 
ebay, going back to my sierra designs lightyear.  The lunar solo never 
set up tautly for me - it was a first generation.  Maybe it's been 
improved.  I got the contrail last summer and on the other hand sets up 
tautly and is good in wind, and even an intense hail storm and big 
wind.  There is enough netting that I never had a problem with 
condensation.  I'm sold - 24 oz...

Jeff, just Jeff...
