MLD Grace Duo & Serenity Review

Don,
Thanks for the Video, I like your set-up for sure! I already sold the Patrol that I bought from you, and ordered a Spectralite Patrol and Revelation Pack.
Meanwhile, I'm using my Spinntex Grace solo tarp, with a SMD Meteor Bivy.
I like the looks of the Serenity though, and will probably sell my unused MLD bug bivy, and get a Serenity?

How do you like the Grace Duo in the Cuben Fiber Fabric? I love the line-locs too, much easlier than tying slipknots into all of your guy-lines.

Spectralite Patrol & a Revelation ?!?! That's pretty sexy. I admit I have a little gear lust for the Revelation as well but I'm going to test my latest version of the modified GoLite Ion before trying anything new.

I'm really pleased with the spectralite (cuben) fabric. I was tentative buying it having never seen the fabric in person. Now that I have it in hand I'm not worried at all about the durability of it. I really like that its 100% waterproof as well.

I like the Serenity over the bug bivy because it gives me a little more room to wiggle when in the shelter. Its tight quarters but I can clean up, change, read and sleep without too much trouble in the Serenity. I wasn't able to do that in the bug bivy.

Please post photos of your new gear when it shows up… I really want to see both of those in more detail!

Thanks Don, I enjoyed the video :)

How much space do you have inside the Serenity?

cheers :)

Looks very cool!
Would you guys that have used both the serenity and bug bivy mind elaborating and giving your personal pro's and con's to each?

I just some photos from my overnighter this past weekend. There are a few pics of the gear set up. We got a short afternoon shower. The tarp was waterproof of course (Cuben) and the size is perfect for protecting the Serenity from spray and splatter. If you look closely at the tarp photo you can see the dry area around the Serenity resulting from the Grace Duo's overhang.

Very beautiful area, the Foothills Trail looks like it would be an awesome place for a week-long Fall hike! Does this trail see a lot of backpacker use?
