scrabbleGOD1p is lighter and takes up less space so it’s definitely preferable. Dyneema is worth it. Especially for the floor of the tent. you WILL have storms on the pct. Dyneema won’t let in water from the bottom I have the zpacks pivot and I love it! I’m 5’2” though. It’s probably more cramped if you’re tall. I do NOT recommend the gossamer gear the one.
SouthSanJuanDCF tent from Zpack. I have been thru some big storms with these and no failures if guyed out well.
