WM temps - 08/28/09 01:43 PM
I'm considering equiping for some Smokies winter trips. In looking at the WM spec chart I see some discrepancies.
VersaLite...6'6" 10° F 6" 63"/54"/39"
Antelope....6'6" 5° F 7" 63"/54"/39"
Kodiak......6'6" 0° F 7" 67"/58"/41"
In looking at these numbers closely one would think that either the Versalite is 'optimistic' or the Antelope is underrated. I had an older Marmot Helium that had similar dimensions as the Versalite and in comparison I'm thinking the Versalite is optimistic and the Antelope the more accurate, particularly when considering the shell materials. What do you good folk think?
