Tarptent recently introduced a double-wall version of their Double Rainbow, the DR DW: https://www.tarptent.com/product/double-rainbow-dw/
The Double Rainbow has been a very popular hybrid single-wall tent for years, and Tarptent’s recently introduced DCF version, the DR Lithium (Li) has received very good reviews, including by BPL.
But both are single-wall tents and this new DR DW comes in at only a little more than 3 ounces heavier than the single-wall DR. That caught my eye. 39.65 ounces (sans stakes) is very good for a double wall 2-person tent, especially considering it’s made with 30d sil/sil nylon that is far tougher than the 10d and 15 sil/PU fabrics used by mainstream (Nemo, Big Agnes, MSR) competitors. (Of course, those competitors are mostly using two-pole designs, so there is the tradeoff).
The DR DW is quite similar now to the double-wall Trekkertent Phreeranger: http://www.trekkertent.com/home/home/39-phreeranger-dyneema-composite.html
Trekkertrent only have the 1p version of the Phreeranger on their site now, but used to sell a 2p version as well. One difference between their design and Tarptent’s is that the former has the pole sleeve on the fly and Henry at Tarptent has put the sleeve on the inner tent. (Another difference is that Trekkertent make theirs with no-sag silpoly, while Tarptent is sticking with super-strong but saggy silnylon.)
One potential negative that caught my eye is the apparent increase in wrinkles in the fly of the double-wall version compared to the single-wall DR. I wonder if that has anything to do with the change in pole sleeve placement.
