Country_Jake Posted March 22, 2002 Posted March 22, 2002 Just wondering I any one has got or used a REI Half Dome plus 2 tent... I was thinkin' of buying a new tent this year and was wondering if anyone had an opion on REI tents... Quote
JoeTool Posted March 22, 2002 Posted March 22, 2002 not sure if its the half dome,but backpacker just gave its editors choice to one of rei's tents. Quote
miker Posted March 26, 2002 Posted March 26, 2002 I have the REI half dome...not sure if it is plus 2 or not. I bought it mostly for the price and it was smaller than my uber dome tent from the late 80s. It assembles easily enough and is a comfy size for two with some junk(I am 6'2" and do not quite touch at each end. The outside vestibules under the rainfly are nice, but are not on the ground cloth so I use an additional ground tarp just to keep things dry/cleaner. Not a bad tent but it is no Kelty or high end tent. For the price and functionality I give it a B+. miker Quote
Alpine_Tom Posted March 26, 2002 Posted March 26, 2002 According to their website, this is the tent that got the Backpacker Magazine's Editors' Choice Award for 2002. I got a "GearMail" today that gives you 20% off on REI brand gear, which brings it down to a reasonable $120. Quote
Figger_Eight Posted April 4, 2002 Posted April 4, 2002 Get a better tent, unless you just plan to car camp with it. In that case get a big fatty Coleman cabin tent. Quote
