    Looking to buy a good double walled shelter that is light weight. Has anyone compared these two before? Seems like the Six Moons has much cheaper cost but the Echo II by HMG get’s much better reviews, is it hype or just much better?

    My main concern is headroom. Seems like HMG is maybe an inch or two shorter but all other dimensions pretty comparable…

    Saddle 2 by TarpTent would be in the running too I suppose.

    The Echo II sets up more or less like an A-frame, with a head-end door and side walls that slope inward. This will really cut down on the headroom for two sitting side-by-side.

    With the Haven the sloping walls are the front and back, while the side walls are completely vertical, giving you a lot more space at head level when sitting up. Plus it has two side-entry doors, so overall much more livable IMO.
