What should I get. I plan on getting this tent for backpacking and was immediately going to get the Pinnacle pass, but I did a little more reading and the Pinnacle pass is made of 70D nylon vs the Apex's 75D polyester. The 75D is 20% stronger and will last 30% longer. Why did they use better fabric on the lower end tent and then add fiberglass poles and then use inferior Fabric on the Pinnacle pass and then use Aluminum poles? The Apex is 1 lbs. heavier yet it is superior in fabric, but the frame is fiberglass. Which one would you get for backpacking? I guess save a pound and have the tent not last as long, that sux though.
