User Review: Black Diamond Skylight
|
Rating: ![]()
Design: Black Diamond
Sleeps: 3
Ease of Setup: not bad
Weight: 5 with every thing
Price Paid: $300
I took this tent to the Bob Marshall Wilderness in Montana on a 65-miler in five days so light weight was key. A light tent and packs easy but on the very first night we used it we pulled down the rain fly and in the morning we had a ton of condensation on the inside of the tent. Ended up like that almost the rest of the trip except when rain fly wasn't down. The pulls bend too easy and keep a memory which can be bad.
Also to poles attach to the inside of the tent because there is no rain fly. So if it is raining you will get the inside of your tent soaked if you are wet. Also to attach the poles it uses velcro straps which tear up the mesh screen on the tent and it is a pain in the butt to velcro in a hurry if it is raining. This could be an outstanding tent if they changed a few things. Definetly not worth the money or time.
