[pct-l] tarptent vs. six moons designs

[Mike Saenz]

I've had one of Ron's Lunar Solos for three years now.

 

I love it.

 

But describing ANY UL tent as "bomber" is inaccurate. As with any piece
of gear that trades off durability for weight, you need to be more
careful where and how you pitch the Lunar.

 

That said- In the three years I've had my Lunar, 90% of the time, I'll
opt to us it instead of my TNF 3-season. And I have not yet had to
repair it once!

 

I've never had, nor used a Tarptent product, so I can't give an opinion
one way or the other. But when the time comes to replace my Lunar, I'll
replace it with whatever Ron has cooked up that matches it.

 

-cheers

Hello all, 

 

I am looking at the Tarptent Contrail and the Six moons designs Lunar
solo. contrail is 40 dollars cheaper and only uses 4 stakes...otherwise,
these suckers are virtually identical (weight, size, everything).

 

it comes down to build quality.

 

what is the general concensus on these 2 companies? whose construction
is more "bomber"? is all gear from six moons US made? 

 

i really appreciate the feedback. 

 

thanks again...
