Genius!

They have re-designed the REI Quarter Dome tent, and it is absolution genius! My biggest complaint with the Quarter Dome we have (the model from 3 years ago), is that there just isn't nearly enough head room. More height would be nice, but what I really wished it had was more side-to-side room. Check out the picture, what they have done with the poles is fracking brilliant! Why didn't anyone think of that before? Why didn't I think of that before?

I guess I should have let Josh recycle the REI catalog without opening it. I want a new tent now.

That tent is so light. I have the old (2005) Northface Vector 22, which is a two-pole semi dome. Great tent, but the single door on the side has its drawbacks. Northface has since redesigned it with the door at the head/foot end and added an air vent at the top.

Meanwhile, I've had my eye on the MSR Hubba Hubba for a while as a single-pole alternative. The Big Agnes Seedhouse 2 (http://www.campmor.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?productId=39202196&memberId=12500226&catalogId=40000000226) has gotten good reviews too.

Clearly the solution is to go on enough trips to wear out the old one. ;-)

Definitely.
