Has anyone tried out the luxe shelters? Good, bad?
I believe I will try one out. It’s hard to beat the price. I also don’t think for 5-6 usages per year, I will wear it out too quickly.Yes they are pretty nice. I wouldn’t say they’re on the level of Seek Outside or Kifaru but they are very nice especially considering the price. I have the Luxe Octopeak, and I love it. It’s very light and easy to set up. My biggest complain would be the stove jack location.
Snow skirts stay up nice and tight? Are you trying to fold them up out of the way for ventilation?I just used mine for the first time last night. Had a thunderstorm and heavy rain and wind roll in. I hadn't seam sealed mine yet and only notice a couple of drops through the night. Time will tell how long it will last but I seems pretty nice. I got the octopeak with snow skirts and stove jack. My only issue is figuring out how to get the snow skirts to stay up nice and tight.
Yeah I'd like them up for ventilation and during warm weather.Snow skirts stay up nice and tight? Are you trying to fold them up out of the way for ventilation?

I use the orange bungee at the bottom to hold them up and loosen the stake straps al the way out. You can get some additional height out of the tent that way and some additional ventilation. I use a tent pole made by bear paw wilderness designs so I can make it a few inches taller.Yeah I'd like them up for ventilation and during warm weather.
