    Don't have a weather hood, but my explorer series kukeman took a few inches of snow before we decided to head down the mountain. We didn't realize it was snowing until 30 min later, it was just cold. Not sure if the weather hood or insulator would be a better buy

    Yup. Snow doesnt bother at all. Guess I was mostly thinking about the shoulder months where you can get wet snow / sleet / rain mix types of stuff thats just no fun at all.. (or the occasional summer downpour)

    But Ive managed almost 3 years without one, so not sure if its worth it haha

    K, I was trying to make him feel better about just sleeping in his back yard in a tent off the ground.

    back to the drawing board

    Thanks for your heartfelt concern Guys, I'm good.

    The first night I decided to sleep in the tent I told my wife "You'll be sleeping alone tonight unless you care to join me."

    She declined.

    The following morning she asks "Well, how was it?" to which I replied "Great! It was one of the best night's of sleep I've had in a long time."

    She said "Me too!"

    FML.

    The more I setup and take down my soft shell, the more I want to get a hard shell tent.
