[pct-l] Single Person Tents

[msaenz at mve-architects.com (Mike Saenz)]

My partner, Dave has one of the Mt. Hardware tents. He used it last weekend on the PCT at Cibbets. We got rain all night. And his silicon fabric got saturated and then leaked. You'll be seeing it for sale on E-bay soon...
Also, there's apparently a flammability issue with the new silicon fabrics. Not a big deal if you're not packing your big Cuban cigars...

As a sub-segment hiker, I go lux. Slickrock tent, thermarest chair, and the requisite evening oilcan...
My Slickrock has endure some serious precipitation (the most severe storm I've ever experience, camping or not, in the bowl between Dallas Peak and Mt. Sneffels in Colorado) and kept me dry and comfortable.

Try the Europa II from www.sixmoondesigns.com  In my opinion they're going to 
be the most popular thru-hiker tent in the future.  Or a Henry Shires 
Tarptent.

That said, I use a Nomadlite from  www.wanderlustgear.com    and like it.
