Congratulations on having collated such a large sample range.
As with the backpack review, you cannot include everything, nor please all.
I have enough problems just testing a few Tarptents let alone have the time to look at other shelters. (not that I would bother)
kidding aside I happen to know that the various reviewers here need to have a great passion for the products because the financial rewards make slave labour look like a lucrative proposition.
So well done again.
The only bit that I would like clarified is to add a note under the Scarp picture (the one with the deer) to say that it is meant to show how not to pitch that shelter.
BTW, all of the Scarp pictures are of the old version, including the correctly pitched one further down.

Hi Mary - Have you checked out Granite Gear's The Haven? They told me it weighs about a pound. It looks like a pretty good bug protection.

Not one mention of a Tarptent being anyones favorite in the wrap up. Looks like double wall tents have really stepped up in the past 5 years?

Huh? The Scarp is a great shelter. What other double walled two person shelters does Tarptent have?

I have had the opportunity to get 2 tents over the past 2+ years frtom big Sky with no problems/ issues.
