User Review: GoLite Shangri-La 3

Rating: rated 4 of 5 stars
Source: bought it new

Summary

Great three-season shelter! Holds two people plus gear with ease.

Pros

  • Lightweight
  • Easy to set up
  • Lots of space
  • Compact to carry

Cons

  • Less insect protection during buggy camping

Have used backpacking and car camping. Lightweight shelter for two. When split between two packs, even with floor, is very light. Offers better weather protection than tarps. Have used in heavy rain without any problems.

I carry a chair leg glide to place under the center pole when camping on soft ground, it keeps the pole from sinking too deep and keeps the shelter taut. Ventilation can be adjusted by adjusting the height of the setup. While it won't keep out bugs I don't want to carry the extra weight of the net liner that is optional.

Love this shelter!
