I am looking for a pyramid tarp and trying to decide between the Golite Shangri-la 5, the Oware 10×10,the MLD Supermid, and the Black Diamond Megalight. I plan to use this with my wife sleeping on one side of the center pole (we plan on using trekking poles strapped together) or for us and our two kids. I will use it in the winter as a fly only, and will add a bug tent when needed. I will probably get a full inner for the four of us, and get a half pyramid inner for just the two of us. I am 6'1" and my wife is 5'7" and we use 2.8" thick pads.
