>>1235713>It held up VERY poorlyWhat happened to it? What brand was it?
How many other tents have you gone through? Why not just get something in the middle of the two that will hold up better instead of being wasteful? A decent tent with a bit of care should easily last 10 years with only minor repairs, if any, and reapplication of DWR.
>>1235661I have a Eureka Midori 2 I use solo, got it for ~$150 CAD ($120 USD) and it's been going strong 5 years. 68D, 4lb 7oz all in.
I can't imagine using something with 15D floor without a ground sheet, which would use up some of the weight savings. Granted, the Freelite 2 (I know you're getting the 1 but easier to compare with mine) is almost half the weight, but is a 2lb reduction really worth it?
I guess MSR and REI have good warranty. I'd say go for it if you want a super light frestanding tent. A friend got a new Hubba NX last year that he seems to like.
