[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1277303, member: 54178"] [B]TARPTENT MOMENT DW [/B]with crossing pole and ripstop inner tent for 4 season use. I've "winterized" my Moment DW (Double Wall) for high winds snow load by running a shortened (5" shorter) optional X-ing pole [I]under[/I] the fly and securing the X-ing pole with double sided Velcro computer cable wraps sewn to the reinforcements for the exterior X-ing pole strap attachments. Also I added 4 fly hem stake loops to hold down the fly in high winds to prevent flapping. Trying to sleep with a flapping fly requires ear plugs at a minimum. Plus stopping flapping reduces wear on the fly. In heavy snow it also keeps the fly in place when snow off the roof builds up and pushes inward. I can cook in one of the two the vestibules in very bad weather by opening up the downwind vestibule a bit to get cross ventilation. The two vents at the top of the fly and the two lower end vents can be rigged to get good ventilation but still keep out windblown spindrift snow. My pack fits inside a vestibule as do my boots in the opposite vestibule. Nice gear shelter in bad weather. At just over 2 lbs. this is a great little tent. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
