REI Half Dome Plus 2

I bought this tent (made in 2002) in the 2007 camping season and I'm using it again this year (2008). I bought this tent used and it was a great choice. It is the same as REI's current Halfdome 2 HC, but you can get these on eBay or garage sales for much less.

Dynomite...last tent I will ever buy!

Wonderful tent! Love it. Easy to set up: clip, clip stake out and DONE. Comes with guylines attached, and a nice little compression sack for tent. Good ventilation with 2 pockets and a loft. Fits 2 Z-Rests comfortably. Can't wait to use again.

Well, what can I say, I have this tent and I also have a $375 Dana Design Arja. Seven out of 10 times I take the Half Dome. It is very light, packs small, durable, stands up to high winds on the rim of the Great Canyon, completely waterproof, and warm enough for most weather.

Have used this tent for about six nights so far, winter conditions, in wooded area as well as open and breezy conditions in a snowstorm. Temps well below freezing, chill below 0.

First, I really like the design -- 2 doors and very generous vestibules -- great for leaving snowy gear outside and accessible.

My wife and I received this tent as a wedding gift last summer. We have used it for camping and backpacking throughout northern California. First thing first: this tent is awesome. I did not think a company could improve on the two pole dome design but REI has done it.
