Hexamid Twin size

Plan to put seam sealer on the sewing at the corners where the loops are that the shock cord attaches to inside, keep water from running down the shock cord to your groundsheet. Any extra water inside the mesh is undesireable. If you arent buying the cuben groundsheet, you wont have the issue, but it will still leak. Joe doesnt seal this because it is outside the cuben groundsheet.

Consider putting sealer on the endwall tie-out loops as well, at least check that there is not a trace of wrinkle under the tape patch that seals it inside. Under tension this can pull away and wrinkle, then it leaks. You might not even be able to see the wrinkle, thats why its a good idea to seal it. I stared up at a steady trickle of water running down my roof right above heads one night, it never dripped , just ran down the roof, from the tie out.

Will do MB. Thanks for the info. I may pick up or make a Cuben drop before our thru-hike but for my last few trips in Montana I am going to use the polycro. If it proves successful I may bring it on the AT.

Also consider tie-ing the front shock cord on that holds the beak down. It has 2 little mitten hooks, one for each end. Joe sent me another one because mine was lost, fell of while packing tent up somewhere on AT. Dont think it cant fall off. Had to use bear line to tie beak down in thunderstorm that night when discovered shock cord was missing.

I have purchased a blue Hexamid Twin and had the chance to take it out twice. The first time out was in a snow storm and the second was in a wind and rain storm. This tent handled both very well. I have not had the chance to take it out with a partner yet but I think it will work fine. I find it easy to set up and the low profile handles wind very nicely.

I am currently using a polycro ground sheet from Gossamer Gear. It works very well by just wrapping and cinching the built in clips around it. However it really needs to be about a foot longer before I would be comfortable using it on the East coast. I asked for a Cuben version for Christmas:)

I am looking forward to using this a a duo shelter for our upcoming AT thru. As a couple who focuses primarily on moving down the trail with camping as a necessity rather than an activity I think this will be a great shelter. I am going to keep our larger Tarptent as a back up shelter through the hike but I don't expect we will need it.

Thank you all for the input while I was contemplating the purchase.
