Taku

The Taku is a Goretex, single-walled tube style tent made to keep the cold out and the warmth in. The lack of vestibule, inability to free-stand, and leaky floor leave too much to be desired for the large price tag. Setup: The Taku utilizes three “hoop” semi circular poles to provide integrity to the tent. Each pole becomes consecutively smaller moving towards the foot. The first two poles are inserted into reinforced pockets in the interior of the tent. The third pole is put in place on the… Full review

PreCip Pant

Wore these in an all-day rain on a backpack in Pennsylvania in spring 2010. The kleenex I had in the front pocket was dry the entire day Full review

Hypno

They are about just the right size to pull over thermal underwear… Full review

Limelight 2P

Bought this tent new on Ebay in Jan 2018 and after less than one year and a total of about 15-20 nights camping it is now unusable. First the Velcro straps attaching the fly to the poles fell off, then the seam tape at the bottom of the fly began to deteriorate, finally (during rain) water flooded into the tent directly through the ground sheet and bottom part of the fly resulting in me getting soaked. I wouldn’t dare to take out this tent again. Though there is supposedly a lifetime guarantee… Full review
