Seems like a good deal—in for one. I had a Half Dome years ago that was pretty bomber for a three seaso tent until I lost it in a move. My wife is set on getting a three person ultralight tent but this will make a good beater tent for shorter trips that are harder on gear.

Great reviews on this tent. It's suppose to be up there with the big agnes tents for 4-5 hundred. Also Rei has a great warranty on Rei brand stuff. I grabbed one for backpacking and hunting.

FYI, the footprint is also available for twenty bucks for members. Yes, you can use a cheap tarp instead but the dedicated footprint is a nice thing to have, especially when it's not stupid expensive like they can be.

Shows you how observant I am. Often you have to buy the footprint separately. Oh well.

I looked at this last night but eventually bought the passage 2 Which was under $100 after the member coupon. https://www.rei.com/rei-garage/pr...-footprint Now I am having second thoughts. Any thoughts on the comparison of the two? Passage 2 is about a pound heavier.

It depends, splitting a pound (if you're hiking as a pair) isn't too bad. Carrying an extra pound yourself can make a big difference depending on the length of your trip. I carried a roughly 4-pound and some change tent on a two week trip in the Alps. I wished I brought something lighter.

Would not recommend any REI tents. They don't actually manufacture them, but are made by a third party. That means that they don't have spare parts if something breaks. They will refer you to a another company which charges quite a bit for random plastic pieces whereas other manufacturers like Big Agnes, Exped, etc. have a large parts bin from which they can replace broken pieces easily and cheaply. Plus the 1 year warranty is not what it used to be.

I like sl tent better because of the walls being further spread out. Look at the difference for pole structure. More vertical side walls.

Absolutely. These have a low full cover rain fly that will keep you dry as long as your tent is pitched correctly.

Not likely. I would recommend a 4 person tent if you want cots for two to fit with room to maneuver.
