I think I'm going to be ordering a new 2-person backpacking tent in the next few days. I loved my Stratospire 2, but I'm thinking of going back to something that can be pitched freestanding because I'm convinced the tension needed for a good pitch on the Stratospire accelerated the degradation of the fly zipper teeth. Anyway, I'm between the TT Double Rainbow DW and some of the Big Agnes options in roughly the same price range. A complaint I've seen before for BA is that the mesh and nylon they use is thin and tears easily. But I know BA tents are extremely popular, so I'm also wondering if those concerns are overblown. Anyone on have experience and care to share?
