FOR SALE:
2007 Golite Hex 3 pyramid tent (USED ONCE), (NEVER USED) Golite Hex 3 Floor with BearPaw Tents "Poncho" mod and (NEVER USED) BPL.UK's Trekking Pole Extender.

$300.00 shipped in continental US. Paypal only. Buyer pays Paypal fees.

I bought this Hex 3 last summer off the BPL forums. Items were brand new/never used with tags still on it when purchased. The pyramid was only used for one two day trip. The "poncho" floor and BPL.UK Trekking Pole Extender have NEVER been used. I sent it into BearPaw Tents and had 18 inches of bug netting added to the entire perimeter. I also had BearPaw do a "poncho" mod to the Hex 3 floor so i could get double duty out of the floor and use it as my poncho when hiking. Very cool, unique system that works like a charm. Gotta' say that the older style Hex's were better, imho. All stuff sacks, stakes, pole and BPL.UK trekking pole extender included.

+1 on the older hex & early SL-3 being better than the 2010 and newer. I have 3 of the older models put back for myself. This is a great change to pick one up.

That last picture looks a little like the Emperor from Star Wars!

Mathew and John.

Sorry to hijack your thread but you get a free bump!

I'm interested in what you feel is superior about the older Hex v the post-2010 Shangri-La? I'm interested in your view. Thanks.

"That last picture looks a little like the Emperor from Star Wars!"

That's John from BearPaw modeling the poncho. Show a little respect.

Jim,
The older Hex 3's were lighter by 5-10% over newer Shangri-La models. Also, the pole is lighter, too. there have been reports of the waterproof thread not working on the newer models, which was NEVER a problem on the older ones...worked like a charm every time it rains, no seam sealing needed.

Price dropped to $300.00 shipped continental US. Paypal only, buyer pays Paypal fees.

How does the netting work? Does it provide total protection? Does the netting tuck under the floor/ connect the tarp/tent itself? [or am I totally off here]

Confused. But interested.

Scott,
You can use the Hex without the floor in buggy/dry conditions if you like. It hangs down and you just put shoes or something on it to keep it down (see picture). In wet conditions i was going to use the floor (it clips up to the Hex's side walls) as my poncho. When i get to camp and pitch the Hex, i would take the floor/poncho off, clip it in, and the netting would hang down passed the bathtub floor so no bugs would get in and it would have better ventilation than the normal/pitched directly to the ground, Hex 3's. This system saved me the weight of carrying a poncho and a floor. Multi-use! The netting also serves as a snow anchor for winter conditions, just pack snow around it facing away from the tent...snow flaps! The BPL.UK Trekking Pole Extender allows you to leave the Hex3's center pole at home and just use one trekking pole to pitch the Hex. BIG weight savings there!
