The New REI Half Dome 2 HC Tent
This is the new version of REI’s best selling two-person backpacking tent. For those familiar with the old Half Dome there has been a few improvements. The fly now has a small window to check out whats going on without having to pull back the fly. Also the sides and floor pull out more tightly to give more usable space thanks to a redesigned center pole hub. The hub keeps the two pole connected to each other which makes it a little faster to clip the tent to the poles.
The New REI Half Dome 2 HC Tent easily fits two 6 footers with enough room for a small amount of gear. This is almost the same tent they have been selling for years. Just a few cosmetic up grades and a new way of attaching the two poles. Its a trusted design and will keep you dry without breaking the bank.
There are a lot of tents in this category. The New REI Half Dome 2 HC sits somewhere in the middle.
