I am looking at buying a Tarptent Cloudburst 2 or a Double Rainbow. Has anybody had experience with both? Am looking for comments regarding:
Wind stability, I imagine the Cloudburst 2 with its lower profile would fare better?
Useable headroom-(I am 6'2")How far down from the front pole can one sit up?
Is one design more prone to condensation than the other.Comments?
Thanks.

I have used the Cloudburst 1 for several years, and now own a Double Rainbow. The DR can be very stable in high winds provided it is properly staked and supported. This requires extra guylines too (we carry 13 stakes), and a pair of trekking poles to support the apex of the tent. I find both tents equally prone to condensation, though you can get an extra liner for the DR to minimise contact with the condensation. The big diference is not in the amount of condensation, but on how well you can avoid touching the wet walls. The DR is far superior in this respect, plus you really can't beat the rain porches!
They are both great tents.
