Here is a story of my experience dealing with Bibler (recently
bought-out
by Black Diamond) which I would like to share with anyone considering
buying a Bibler tent / product.
I purchased my Bibler Awhanee two years ago, after a nine month
fanatical
period of research into the best all-in-one tent I could purchase. I
read
every catalog blurb, every magazine review, and every internet posting I
could find, and compared dozens of makes and models.
After this search, I came up with the Bibler Awhanee. I must admit, I
loved this tent, and not just because it cost me over $700, but because
the
design and construction were absurdly well thought out and executed. It
is
a true four season tent, and was supposed to weigh-in at 5 lbs 4 oz
(more
on this later).
