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.
lol..REI doesn't mfg. anything. These tents are excellent quality and value and this one would make an excellent backpacking tent at sub 4lbs. I'm not a weight weenie and spending 2-3x more and getting a few ounces less. Another favorite for us hikers are the Marmot tents that are sealed at the seams very well.

I'm new to camping. Are these waterproof for rain?
reality is that no tents are 100% waterproof, but this one should be very water resistant with the fly almost to the ground. When camping, I like to dig a small channel around the tent to help guide the rain away from the tent. Make sure the ground cover tarp has the edge turned up so water cannot come over the sides. Always pitch the tent on a slight slope to keep rainwater from pooling. I have plenty of tents and at this price, it would make a nice gift.

This is a great tent!.I used one backpacking several times in the Grand Canyon. Perfect size for 2 people and your gear. I think REI tents are better quality than Big Agnes tents. No need for spare parts on REI tents. If anything fails, return the entire REI tent for a full refund. I doubt you will need to, my REI tent is still in great shape after more than 10 years.

Some of REI product price rise a lot, I bought a REI sleeping pad last year summer, the original price is 90ish but now the same sleeping pad cost $139, the 50% off cost even more than 30% off last time. Not sure about other products but this one I purchased and want another one, so I was tracking the price on it, FYI https://www.rei.com/product/14819...-pup=false

I've used a larger version of this for several years now. Can't say enough good things about the Half Dome!

This doesn't stack with the extra 20% off MEMBER23 code for members though does it?

Great tent, I've had mine for 10 years and still going strong. Would buy another in a heartbeat.

The good old days of any of those brands replacing parts "easily and cheaply" are quite gone. MSR and Big Agnes were the most recent disappointments that I experienced. MSR wanted quite a bit for a replacement fly for their own problem, I might as well have just bought a whole new tent. Alps Mountaineering was much more reasonable, but they didn't have a big parts bin, just something that kind of fits.

Had the same experience with Thule last year. They didn't have a simple easily lost piece, just want you to buy a new $200 bike rack.

REI isn't what it used to be, neither are any of the brands they sell. Just buy something on sale and assume it's going to need replaced because brand loyalty is for suckers post COVID.

The trail weight is NOT including everything you normally would be carrying, it's misleading to list that. If you want the light REI backpacking tent model you want the quarter dome.

Is 2+ too big for one person and gear? I already have a 3 person tent. Need something for solo.

I just bought 1 Half Dome SL2+. Do I need an extra footprint for backup when it is on sale right now?
