LDK if you’re looking for non-misting yet lightweight, cuben is the way to go. Haven’t pulled the trigger yet (it’s a big price tag) but I probably will soon.

Well the notch has the same degree of versatility as its inner body is also removable. IMO the higher degree of durability would be comparatively negligible in the scale of how much that means to me choosing a ultralight shelter. That being said, there’s some insanely expensive ultralight shelters that look like they are held together with tissue paper.

The lack of misting would be nice though.

Neglecting the cost from the time bank, I think my next cheaper and super cool dream shelter will be making my own multi-colour mid.

Not as durable, spacious or versatile however…At $285 vs $299, price is pretty much the same?

EDIT: Again, I was talking about the 22 oz fly body. I was quite impressed. I can’t emphasize how weather worthy and spacious it was. I used a shelter very similar to the Notch on my recent wind river trip and the Highroute would have fit my needs much better.

A point for sure. In inclement weather, brighter is better (see the bright colors for 3+ season and true winter tents).. But more subtle colors is the preference for most in prime conditions.
