Gotta think that whole "leaving the inner tent behind" rationale reeeeeaaaaal careful. Pretty sure a big flock of early season black flies could make a guy's life pretty fucking miserable.....(grin)

I think on the Nallo, like the Akto, you can unclip part of the inner tent and push it out of the way so you can sit under the outer tent. It's pretty handy. I run the Akto without inner tent off and on when weather & logistics allow and it's not too bad.

They also make a fly-net inner tent you can get for some models, which replaces the inner tent completely so you have some bug protection.

Barneys also sells 10% off retail last I checked.

I'll have a Nallo 3gt in the next season or two.

I'm seriously thinking about the backcountry shelter that EdT and Kevin are selling. It seems like a pretty slick deal, and would have more headroom, more overall space, and with less weight than the 3GT (Dont quote me on any of that, but I'm pretty sure it is right)

I've spent a few nights in a GoLite Hex3, and I dig the concept of floorless when you know what you are headed into. But, sheep season for me means a hunt 600+ miles away with pretty poor weather predictions. A floor with floorless vestibule, bug protection, and great wind performance are pretty nice things to have there.

Has anybody given that shelter that Kevin is selling a good workout in high winds? Haven't followed those threads too closely.

Not that I've heard of.

My hex (I guess they'd call it a SL3 now) has been in some wind and has always done well. At the height where wind would be a problem, there isn't much of a profile to grab. If you fucked up and didn't pitch it tight to the ground, I could see a gust popping a tent stake on the upwind side, and that could be the beginning of a very cold night.

Keep it coming guys, good stuff.

I'm pretty sure you should buy one RO, and then I'll give it a test run next season for you.

Sold, and I'll "think" about it, in that order.........grin

Figure I paid $425 for my old Walrus back in 91, which works out to approx $20/year, and the fucker served me well for hundreds of nights. 7-8 bills for a Hille stretched over 15-20 years and a full 2 pounds lighter, seems like as close to a win/win as a guys gonna get.

Wifes been wanting to go to the states for a couple years now, and now I got a reason to take her.......grin
