I agree! I think this is the best all-around ultralight tent ever made. I’m absolutely thrilled with mine. Two months ago, I found myself in the midst of one of the most brutal storms I’ve ever experienced in my life. Trees were coming down around me, but this absolutely handled itself. I was amazed Friends of mine had their tents literally blowing away. The icing on the cake with this design is that you can still use it as a freestanding tent with the use of your tent poles or even a few sticks. I really don’t think there’s anything out there that comes close to the comfort, usability, design, and quality of this tent. Not to mention the vestibules and incredible open views. I would recommend purchasing the condensation liner. Not only does it work incredibly well to manage condensation, but it also helps provide more shade and keep the tent cooler.
Hi. You can attach the inner door strap to the back side of the magnet that you use for the outer door strap. Then you can undo the inner door without also undoing the outer door.
Agreed. I've had the non Li version of this tent for around 16 years. It's been bomber. Weathered many a backcountry storm and high winds. The double RB Li will be my next purchase. I did pick up a couple seasons ago the aeon Li and love that tent too.
Great tent tbf. Love Tarptents. I've got a scarp ultra for 4 season use. That said, I've a zpacks duplex and at 618g Vs a claimed 870g on Tarptents website for the double rainbow li and it's a .75dcf Vs the rainbows .51 I think ( for me at least ) it's more suitable. I think it's bigger inside too but not 100% on that. I only use it for low level camping during multi dayers but it can also take a bit more stick than is claimed 😊 Thanks for uploading 😁
I caught you saying that the poles are just over 12". The reason I didn't buy the Rainbow is because the listed lengths depending on the version is 16"-17"-18" which was longer than I wanted so I went with another tent. I wonder why the discrepancy on the tarptent website?
Hi. Just wondered if you would still recommend the msr hubba hubba nx2 as a solo back packing tent for Long distance hikes. Really like the livability and space inside. How do you think the hubba hubba compares to the tarptent 2 man ? Thanks
@@siraidanofmayo7678 the footprint was massive, and if you watch my wind test you will see the difference. The rainbow for me has much better features.
Hi, this could be it for me, i have a 2 pole trekking pole tent that i like but the footprint is big and that can cause issues pitching. I have a free standing 3 pole hexagonal shaped tent that i love but its too heavy. My only issue is condensation, how have you found it on this tent. Cheers for the vid

There is no substitute. A well thought out tent and I believe Henry Shires is the King of Tent design

Couldn't agree more, perfect tent. Love mine
...enig- er super glad ved mit 🤗

I had the x mid it ended up at 1100g with poles and pegs. I imagine the duplex would be around 1 kg all added up.

@@where2then yes maybe they are a bit longer than 12 inch in reality. They fit vertically in my backpack.
I’ve got the scarp 1 ultra which I absolutely love but I’m thinking of getting one of these as well looks mint

@@siraidanofmayo7678 I think the Double Rainbow Li is the winner, less weight, pitches quicker no flysheet. I sold the Hubba Hubba.
@evacoutdoors5867 how come you got rid of the Durston xmid pro so quick? What is superior on the tarptent compared to the Durston? Thanks

It’s not bad, some days nothing. Some just a bit damp on inside.
@@evacoutdoors5867 thank you, I think this could be the one
Do the poles of the tent fit horizontally in your Mo 50?
Vertically either inside or out
❤ the design coz I have the rainbow li, but the QC is terrible 👎 I will not buy tarptent which is made in china anymore.
The quality is actually far superior now that they’re made in China. They had quality control issues with their North American production.
