Go Lite tents

[whacker1]

Does anyone have any experience with the GoLite imogene UL2 tent?

It seems super light for the price range, and was hoping someone else had given it a try and give me some reviews.

I think it might be new - have not seen it before.

They JUST came out for 2013 so no one should have them yet.

I like the looks of that. Great weight to space ratio.

Thank you, That would explain why I don't remmber seeing them in the past.

I was looking at this tent the other day on their website.I was thinking about ordering one. Has anybody ordered this tent and going to try it out this year?

Really like the looks of this tent. I may only do a couple upgrades this year and this may be one of them

Those Go Lites do look pretty nice. 2lb 6oz - 2 man tent is nice! Just wondering if they are like the paper mache Big Agnes tents. Never a fan of those. Actually took mine back.

Thanks Aron, I am running a Mountain Hardwear Meridian 2 that I have had for about 3 years now, nice tent, double vestibule which is really nice. I have weathered a couple really bad storms in the Eagle Caps with it, was really awesome, no issues at all. But the downfall is it weighs bout 4lb 10 oz. Interested to see what you think of the Golite. Might be time for a change!

Looking forward to hearing what you have to say about it Aron. Im using a Marmot EOS for my single shelter but saw the new GoLites and am thinking about upgrading. I use the SL3 for my son and I and am happy with GoLites products so far.

I had called golite a few months ago trying to buy just a shangri la 5 flysheet and they mentioned they were coming out with some ultralights. I look forward to a review on them

these look pretty nice but my 2 man tarptent is still lighter and looks simpler to set up. TTsquall 2 with stakes (msr ground hogs) comes in at 32oz with stuff sack and only has one little pole to put down by the foot end. still this tent has a nice design

It does look like a nice lightweight tent! Aron let us know what you think?

Looking forward to hearing what Aron has to say. Though the 10D fly makes me a bit cautious for sure. I realize its in an effort to keep weight down, but my SL-5 is 15D and I surely don't want for something lighter weight than that to be honest. I'm sure its a non-issue for most, but if I'm wanting a freestanding tent I'd be more interested in their Wolf Creek offering with 40D fly. Yes, its heavier, but its no doubt stouter and has two doors and two vestibules as well which is nice when going with two guys. For a single person solo shelter the imogene UL2 looks great though.

Don't forget to post up your thoughts Aron...

Looking to Aron review on this tent.

I was in a Golite store yesterday and they had their new tents in. Setup the imogene 3 without the fly in store. The fly felt super light and thin but who knows, it could work fine. It's really a two man deal if you will have any packs or bows inside. Its long enough for taller guys by my guestimations and the walls are at a good angle for maximum inner room. To sleep 3 you need the middle persons head by the others feet. I laid out the two man version but just to see the footprint area. I would say 2 man no gear or one man with gear. I have a pic of me in he 3 but still havenet figured out jow to post them.
