Thanks! I was just looking at the Toaks 650 for the same reasons. My 550 is good but I wanted just a little more space and the 750 seemed a tad big for just a solo setup. Guess Im dealing with a goldilocks issue. :)

Thanks for the comparison. Have you tried using trekking poles, handle up, to prop up the apex of the arch? I heard that can help to prevent the arch from moving and collapsing in strong wind. I know the silnylon version has grommets for this purpose, but I don’t think they are there for the Li.

Hi Evac! Amazing video!Thank you very much for sharing!I am about to copy all these steps.However I have two questions which I hope to get your suggestions. First of all,you had traced the outline of the mould at 6:17 but I’m not sure what’s that for?I didn’t see that trace was used later on? Also you mentioned that we should not tape glass fiber to the front of the mould at 8:26 because the scissor jack later will make the boot longer.But if we are using the jack to stretch the boot isn’t it going to be longer anyway? Looking forward for your reply! Bunny

I agree! I think this is the best all-around ultralight tent ever made. I’m absolutely thrilled with mine. Two months ago, I found myself in the midst of one of the most brutal storms I’ve ever experienced in my life. Trees were coming down around me, but this absolutely handled itself. I was amazed Friends of mine had their tents literally blowing away. The icing on the cake with this design is that you can still use it as a freestanding tent with the use of your tent poles or even a few sticks. I really don’t think there’s anything out there that comes close to the comfort, usability, design, and quality of this tent. Not to mention the vestibules and incredible open views. I would recommend purchasing the condensation liner. Not only does it work incredibly well to manage condensation, but it also helps provide more shade and keep the tent cooler.

Those Hanwags sure are comfortable from day one and do keep your trotters dry. I bought mine to replace an identical looking pair of Meindls on which both of the soles delaminated on the same day after maybe 6 years. Guess what? After a similar timeframe the soles on those Hanwags simultaneously delaminated just like the Meindls. I then bought a pair of new in the box old stock MOD Meindls which are of the same construction style. They both delaminated on the first walk around my local park with the dog. I bought a pair of second hand Meindl fabric boots of a similar sole design but with fabric uppers- they delaminated too but at least I got half a season of sedentary walking out of them. I'm about done with this Meindl / Hanwag type of boot construction. I've just bought a pair of Alt-Berg Defenders principally because the rand design is reminiscent of an old pair of Brasher Hillmaster GTX that I've had at least 30 years and are still holding up. They have no tread left but at least they haven't disintegrated and I never had wet feet with them either. Let us know how you get on with the Banks SF and I'll do likewise with the Alt-Bergs. Simply great video anyway- I'm three hundred miles away in the softee sarf and videos like this are just fantastic for me, so cheers and a belated happy birthday.

kinda wish more of Vivo's low-cut models had stitching on the sidewalls like these tbh, it would solve a lot of QC problems people seem to complain about where the glue fails and the soles begins to separate from the uppers. i find the Decon Lows are more suitable as a versatile, tanky sneaker, basically like a beefed up Primus Asana. imo something like the Magna Forest ESCs are definitely better suited for muddy and rocky trail running, but it's still impressive to see how well the Decon Lows handle such terrain

Great views, beats being on the coast any day. Interesting to hear your thoughts on the quilt.Thanks for making the video. Personally i have given up on quilts as a single item use and find them a waste of money if we buy them to cut weight because i always need to clobber up with loads of clothes and it defeats the object . Granted we are all different but my initial gut feelings that i had when they first became popular was correct so i wish i had listened to my gut because i am on quilt number 4 now and from now on i am only ever going to use the 2 synthetic ones that i am down to as a top cover to protect my down bags I know you are a Cumulus fan and i am too and for an extra 200/250 you can have an Xlite 300 than will guarantee to keep you warm wearing just a base layer down to 5 degrees C plus you can stipulate the amount of fill you have below and on top, i have 65/35 on my Xlite and Panyam and they are the best bags i have ever owned.
