I am considering the Sierra Designs Lightning 2 or the Kelty Ridge - each cost 154.00 plus shipping (< $10.00). Weights are similar. To my knowledge both Sierra Designs and Kelty have good customer service. The Kelty Ridge appears to have more fabric and less netting - I guess this could be good in winter, but not so good in summer.
It will be for one person, 4 seasons. Mild seasons of the South East, that is.
One thing about the Kelty that worries me is the way the pole holds the vistible up in the front - it looks sort of flimsy? Not sure.
Can anyone point out other things I should consider before I purchse one of these tents? Thank you, Scotty
