I'm ready to get a shelter. I'm trying to decide between Silex, LBO + Vestibule, and a Cimarron.
Silex - Great for a single man. Easy to set up take down. I'm 6'2" and should be able to sit up in it. I'm a little worried about it being too tight to effectively dry gear out. I like having extra space.
LBO - should give a lot more room, but is there a lot more usable room to hang things? It would be able to give me room to sit in my chair vs. laying down when the weather turns.
Cimarron - Palatial for one and can fit 2 easily. Fitting two means more flexibility and that makes me feel better. Down sides are weight, pack space and footprint size.
I'm probably going solo for the time being, but you never know what the future holds.
The Silex wins if I'm not going to feel cramped and still be able to make sure socks and boots get dry (they are always a battle for me).
The LBO seems like it does fit nicely in the middle, but the pitch time and number of stakes gives me pause.
The Cim would be absolutely awesome, but do I want to carry it???
Let me know your thoughts on this.
