BD Firstlight tent

The Firstlight is an amazing tent–legitimately under 3 lbs.

I would hesitate to use it in continuous, heavy, day-after-day rain, however. As for wind, the tent’s performance is probably average for its class. That may not be good enough for those famous Patagonia winds.

At 5’11” you’re probably close to the height limit. This tent may be a bit small, depending on your preference.

Finally, the tent is not seam-sealed. You have to do that yourself, and it’s quite annoying.

Hope this helps!

Hi Eduardo,
It sounds like you would fare better with a Bibler Eldorado tent. I am 6′ tall, and this fits me well. Also, it is a very sturdy tent in the Sierras, where I do most of my hiking. It is a tad heavy at 5 pounds, but I figure it is good protection since I use a down bag. No problems with condensation on the inside and bombproof. Jeff

Tanks Jeff, tanks your coments. Eduardo.
