[pct-l] Eureka Zeus 2 EXO

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

Check out this month's BACKPACKER mag's Gear guide.
They have a review on the EXO.
If I remember correctly, the EXO is a single wall? Only complaint is condensation on those.

If you're a segment hiker, going with a 3-season, 2-man would be the most versatile choice.

I'm very happy with my North Face Slickrock. Performs well in heavy downpours, is spacious enough to be tent-bound comfortably, and only weighs a bit over 4 pounds. Compresses down to the size of a loaf of bread.
It's a double wall, with the fly that detaches for just about full mesh stargazing...
Bathtub floor and lots of little clever features that you don't appreciate until you need them (glow in the dark zip fobs, light reflector tabs, gear loft option, dual pockets, very well placed front & back vents, etc...)

FYI,

Has anybody used this tent (Eureka Zeus 2 EXO) much at all?  I've got an REI
Half Dome Plus 2 and was looking to go a little bit lighter (it's about 2lbs
lighter) without going to a tarptent.  I'm looking for a tent that I can use
both for the PCT and for short weekend trips that I don't have to be so
Ultralight on.  I hate tents that I can barely sit up in and I'd rather go
with a freestanding tent as opposed to one that needs to be staked in to
stay up.
