I noticed SixMoonDesigns.com has a new "Refuge" tarptent on sale for a "limited time only" for $200. Similar to the LunarDuo, but no floor, only one entrance, and slightly narrower. 27 oz.
Feb 4, 2008 at 1:48 pm #1419081Looks like it has a floor – I'd also be intersested in feedback from any users.
Feb 4, 2008 at 1:55 pm #1419084I thought it had a floor, too, until I looked at the comparison page: http://www.sixmoondesigns.com/products/ShelterCompare.asp
Maybe what we're seeing is the netting tucked under a sleeping pad.
Feb 4, 2008 at 2:15 pm #1419090The website description for the refuge tent indicates it has a 30D Silnylon floor.
The comparison page just indicates it does not have a "bathtub" floor or floor choice (normal/ultralight).
Feb 4, 2008 at 2:22 pm #1419091I'm glad others are paying attention. Thanks for clarifying!
Feb 4, 2008 at 2:24 pm #1419092The Refuge does have a floor. With this model we simply restricted it to the 30D siliicone fabric. It does not have a bathtub floor. For thoes interested in my thoughts on Ultralight Bathtub floors you can read a recent article I posted to my blog http://community.sixmoondesigns.com/blogs/.
Also the actual weight came in at 26 ounces and not the 27 ounces listed.

Oh, and the Refuge looks really cool too… ;)
