    Why not go for the 2-man? I know it's slightly bigger than the solo tent, but imagine when you have your backpack in there with you.

    this is how I am. I tend to buy one size larger than I really need and take the little bit of added weight for some more comfort. all personal preference!

    I compared the Spitfire 1 to the Spitfire 2..about a 2lb difference. For that difference in weight, it may be worth it for the solo model. My only concern is that I'll need to buy YET ANOTHER TENT if my gf wants to tag along.

    If there's multiple people, combined shipping would be lower if I did a group order.

    the 2 man weighs a lot more. I test fitted the one man and its a great fit. i can even fit my pack in the vestibule and if its got its rain cover on it wont get wet. the one man is even tall enough to sit up and change in. i would go for the 2 man cause i may have a 4 legged friend come with me but for 2 extra pounds ill cross that bridge when i get to it

    I have the Zeta 3 and the LT Strike 2. I use the Zeta for comfortable camping, whereas I use the Strike for backpacking only. The Strike is great for 2 people backpacking, fits great in a pack. But a little too small for weekend camping, hence the ownership of the Zeta. SD's tents are all super fast and easy to setup and take down, couldn't be better. But with all their tents, I'd recommend getting the Footprint, they have thin floors (and not super waterproof).

    Just lemme know. Would be easier to group a shipment. I'd have to tack on about $15 or $20 bucks onto the cost just to cover my shipping to you individually. Since it's on Pro order, I can only ship to my address. They don't want us doing anything like ordering for other people or somethin... :anonymous:

    I was checking out their tents. They definitely look nice.


    What seam sealer do you guys use for your tents??? I am going to go ahead and seal the seams tomorrow when the tent comes in just to be on the safe side.
