Looks like they have rave reviews and reasonably priced for a quality product. http://www.sixmoondesigns.com/default.asp

Pretty highly respected in the ultralight realm. Small family business. Lots to like, particularly the shelters. I've seen most of their shelters in person, but have not owned one. I bet Ed has some experience with them.

SU35,
Sixmoon's builds some very good, innovative UL gear. My main experience with Sixmoons was with a Europa II tent, a model that Ron built a few years ago. It was well made and a good design. Like any UL gear, more care is needed in using it.

I spent 16 days in the Lunar Duo, in Idaho last year. Great tent. An upcoming NM trip for 3 weeks, in September this year. The Duo comes in at 2.5#, and has tons of room for me and all of my gear. It is the green tent in the foreground, the grey tent is a Double Rainbow Tarptent. Both of these performed flawlessly. The tarp in the background is a 10'x12' Silnylon Equinox tarp, 19oz.

Is that Lunar Duo floorless? I assume it has a floor since it is a "tent" but it is hard to tell by the picture.

According to their site, they have 2 different floors for it, an ultralight one and a standard floor. Difference is 4 ounces.
That's ok, I'll ass shoot a dink.

That Lunar Solo is well regarded, tall guys complain about a lack of headroom while sitting up. If I wanted a tarptent style tent, this is the one I'd go with: http://www.tarptent.com/moment.html

I do carry in a Tyvek footprint for it also. It is the bathtub style floor. Both sides can be opened up. The weather was beautiful, last year. I always set my tent, so with the sides open, I can get a good look at the sky.
