SeekOutside Tent BT-2

[Clarktar]

Was just checking out the seekoutside webage, dreaming about some of their tents, and noticed they have a new one,

Comparable in size to an SL-3, but it is 1/3 the weight... could be a good replacement for the Mountainsmith LT....

Looks cool! I'd like to see one in person.

saw that as well and my first thought was sl-3. except lighter. and more versatile. with im guessing, just going on my experience with seekoutside/golite products, more ingenuity and intuitive features.

Yep, my thoughts exactly. Would be a pretty nice solo shelter. Somewhat on the heavy side (if you think about tarp shelter, (zpack), but at the price, I think this would be a great solo +

Looks good, been wanting to try a small tipi design shelter.

somewhat on the light side if you think about the people packing little marmot or big agnus tents.

They have some good pricing. Ive been eyeing the nest for use inside a floorless shelter. Mainly to escape critters.

Here's my question. Moisture. I mean anywhere you touch the side of a tent they leak especially when its raining I've never used a teepee style tent. But tents drive me crazy when they start gushing water. The best tent I've had has been my REI Taj. Rained all day on me a couple weeks ago. Got a couple of drippers however I've never had a leak before. This Taj is 12 years old.

As a newb to this group I'm curios how the single wall teepees fair in such weather. For the money the seek looks great either the BT-2 or LBO shelter.

Once they're seam sealed, they don't leak at all. Unless it's down pouring for some time, then you may get some drips from a stove jack (if installed) because of the velcro. You do get condensation from your breath, and people mistake that for a leak...
