Tarptent Double Rainbow Li or Zpacks Free Duo

StratoSpire Li, better in high wind.

I have had the Duplex in sustained 20 mph winds with brief gusts to 30. It was not very pleasant.  Personally I would not trust it above tree-line.  Of the 2, I would go with the TT.

I have used a TT for quite a few years now.  It has been sensational.  And when I foolishly allowed it to get a couple of holes (buring up slash during trail crew work) Henry Shires sent me the materials and instructions on how to repair it immediately.  So great customer service as well.

Or…the Notch li. You say that you’ll be using the tent solo. The Notch is double wall, so condensation won’t be an issue. And it’s supposedly  very good in wind.

I’d vote for the TarpTent.  Great customer support. Great attention to detail and craftsmanship.

I have used my silnylon TT Double Rainbow above tree line but had to take the time to use deadmen covered with rocks to guy it out on all sides for stability.  Check out Ryan Jordan’s review of the TT DR here at BPL a few months back.

Hey scott, have you ever use it? Just was looking for the specs and its very nice…
Want to look for more reviews…
Any experience with it?

Lucca, no I haven’t used the Notch Li, but I’ve read some reviews and other people’s impressions. If I was in the market for a new solo tent, the Li would be it. If you search around on this site you’ll find a lot of mentions of this tent. I’m pretty sure that someone’s done a video review of this.
