The UL2 Person 1 Dog tent

By Snow camperz Ranked #197 - 3-Season Tents November 3, 2011

We just tried this lovely tent out on an 8 day trip through California's Emigrant Wilderness. I opted for the UL3 so we'd have plenty of room for us, (me and husband) and our cattle dog Ginger. We had room and then some. It's super easy to set up, but we discovered some nuances to this. In the tent there's gear lofts, which we positioned to have our heads by each night. The fly has color coded clips, black2black and green2green. We couldn't quite figure out why as it's universal, and it actually works better black2green as it positions the fixed side of the vestible door more ergonomically correct. At least we thought so. This way you're able to climb in and it puts you facing the head of the tent (where the gear lofts are fixed). I guess it's all a personal preference but we thought it made the most sense. We did have one night of ferocious freight train winds and it flapped wildly, but held up beautifully. It's a very warm tent too, as a couple nights it dropped down to into the 20's and we could feel a significant difference in the temp inside and outside of the tent. Condensation wasn't an issue. We split the carry weight, I had the fly and stakes and my husband the tent and poles. Made for a lot of tent and hardly any weight...2lbs each? Overall we're very happy with the UL3 and are looking forward to many more trips with it.
