miker Posted March 26, 2002 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpine_Tom Posted March 26, 2002 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allison Posted April 4, 2002 Share Posted April 4, 2002 I would save my money and buy a real tent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figger_Eight Posted April 4, 2002 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
