SMD Lunar Solo vs Tarptent Contrail

See this quote from a review posted on SMD for the Wild Oasis: "I am 6'1" and found that either my feet or head would brush the bottom of the tent when I had to pitch it low for wind and rain, which caused some condensation issues, so I would not recommend the tent for anyone taller than me. "Don't Panic" – PCT 2008."

E J, The Serenity NetTent has very little headroom. I can and do sit up in it to get organized and get in and out, but its really made for just sleeping IMO. It is minimalist, but good bug protection for sleeping. By itself the Cape has virtually no bug protection.

I'm 5' 11" and fit fine. The NetTent pullouts over the head and feet help. They snap to the inside of the Cape, and then a line from the outside Cape pullouts supports both the Cape and NetTent.

See the old post 4-11-09 "How do you pitch your Gatewood Cape" for how they fit together.

My Bad.

My recent comments should have referred to the SMD Serenity NetTent. Thats what I use under the Gatewood.
