[pct-l] Tents....I know, I know, beating a dead horse

[Randy Forsland]

Most mesh tents with removable rainfly will be in the 38-50 oz range (Spitfire UL, etc). What you could do is go with a Six Moon Design Serenity NetTent for those nights when you want to stargaze and then pack a simple tarp for the not so dry nights..

The NetTent runs 7 oz and most tarps are sub 16 oz..the combo will still be in the 24 oz range that you specified...

most lightweight shelters are single wall so no such concept as a rain
fly... the rain fly is the shelter. You will have to go for a tarp + net
tent combo. I'm not up to date with current offerings but I think Gossamer
Gear and/or Mountain Laurel Designs used to have them (I mean, the net
tents... they surely have the tarps). The Gatewood Cape + Serenity is a
good option but it's tight quarters. Another that could do is the Lunar
Solo, also from Six Moon Designs: it's another single wall shelter but with
a large mesh panel covered by vestibule walls that can be put back allowing
you an 80º view of the sky.
