I came really close to getting the Contrail last year. but decided to get the SMD Lunar Solo instead. After a lot of careful measuring, I found out that the LS has just a little more room for my dog, and I really like having the door on the side.

I understand from a post on BPL that Henry has an even lighter tent in development. SMD already has their new "Refuge" which is out now in silnylon and will soon come out in Cuben (18 oz.). Gossamer Gear is also working on a 1-lb. tent. Pretty soon the stakes will weigh more than the tent! More for Franco's tent collection! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I'm also waiting for Henry to come out with a "Triple Rainbow." I saw a post from him a while back (can't remember where) that he's working on it. I had to go ahead and get a Rainshadow last summer for me and the grandkids, but when the Triple Rainbow appears I will sell the Rainshadow and get the Rainbow, which will have more headroom plus, presumably, 2 doors.
