After seeing a friend's MLD Trailstar perform so well in windy and inclement weather a few weeks, I decided I needed one for a trip this fall. I'm impressed with MLD's work on their design and applaud them for coming up with this light, bomber, versatile, and easy-to-pitch shelter. Mine is made from some home-brew silpoly and came in at 24 oz with Linelocs, guys lines, and stuff sack…just a little heavier than MLD's. Its dark color makes it a little hot for warmer weather, but should be perfect for those cooler/cold fall days.
I've thrown it into some pretty good spring storms with no ill effect. The silpoly has really helped to keep a nice, taught, fiddle-free pitch through wind and rain. In the pictures below it's shown pitched with two trekking poles supporting the door. I usually hike with my son, so we're able to use one of his poles to really open up the doorway.
