Hello,
I currently have a Nemo Dragonfly 2p tent which I haven’t used yet but it looks like a great freestanding double walled tent reasonably light enough to use solo at 48 oz packed. The issue is my 14 year old daughter goes on a couple trips a year with me and we both love our Nemo long wide pads. I backpack mostly 2-3 day trips in the White Mountains of NH where it can be cold, wet, hot, humid in all three seasons. There are also wooden tent platforms a lot of places.
My question is what you all recommend? Should I keep the Nemo for solo use and get something similar like a BA CS 3HV for the two of us or sell the Nemo and splurge on the new Tarptent Double Rainbow Lithium for both solo use and father/daughter trips?
My only concerns are how functional is it really for the both of us with long/wide pads? Will we be bumping into each other and sidewalls getting soaked with condensation? How good would that trekking pole freestanding option be on tent platforms? Lastly, I have never used a hybrid design Dyneema tent and scared of putting that cash down if I can’t handle the condensation issues?
If I don’t get the Tarptent, I’ll have almost $400 to invest in other gear? Thoughts/recommendations appreciated.
thanks
