Double Rainbow (Silpoly version)

I used a tarptent double rainbow - the old version before they made it longer. I love that tent and I believe it was lighter than the more popular tent everyone was getting at rei

Love my Tarptent Double Rainbow (single wall)! Honestly, the Tarptent Double Rainbow single wall w/ ceiling liner is basically a DW tent for condensation purposes....

I have a number of tarptents that I’ve bought and used over 20 years. They’re fantastic, I haven’t noticed and quality issues at all. I like the double rainbow myself in silpoly. They occasionally have sales or blemished items. For DCF most will be $500-700+. Z packs duplex might be where you want to go if you want to save up a bit more. I’d check out slingfin as well.

Second. I use a double rainbow. I’m 6’4”

I love my Double Rainbow by TarpTent. Holds me my gear and my Lab comfortably. I’ve been in a few major storms and it holds up great. I’ll add that customer service is great and very responsive

I love my Tarptent Double Rainbow. I’m 6’8” and sleep with an adult lab. Great three season tent great customer service

I have the Tarptent Rainbow Single, it’s big enough to share and easy to carry at 980g but I wouldn’t want to be sharing in prolonged wet weather. However the Double Rainbow is significantly wider with a door on both sides for better access and ventilation. And not much heavier. They’re not cheap but look out for a used one on eBay or Geartrade etc.

My girlfriend and I used my Tarptent Rainbow together in summer for a few weeks. It’s a one person tent with great headroom, wide enough for two sleeping mats. It was plenty big enough, in good weather. Mine weighs 985g. The Tarptent Double Rainbow is wider, has doors on both sides and weighs not much more. I can recommend the design.

alternatively, the tarptent double rainbow (all variants afaik) fits a 6’3 person easily. it is out of OPs budget though. might be worth to BIFL source: personal experience

vouch! the double rainbow is so so good
