Looking for pros/cons on these two shelters. I really like the Nemo Hornet 2P but it only as 10D rain fly and is rated 1200MM waterproofing versus Tarptent Rainbow uses 30D fabric and has 5000MM waterproofing. becasue of this i'm leaning towards the Rainbow. If there are some advantages of the Hornet 2P I would like to know.

The Nemo Dragonfly would be a better comparison, at least it's freestanding, the Hornet isn't. Can't go wrong with either of the ones you mentioned. Flip a coin.

Bought a Tarptent Double Rainbow this Spring. Its already been up Mt. Adams. It acquitted itself quite well.

Not familiar with the Nemo tents but my buddy takes a Double Rainbow on our trip every year and the thing is bombproof. Great shelter.

Yeah I think am gonna go with the Rainbow. its a 1P tent with 24.4 sq.ft of floor space which is more like a 1.5 person tent size. At 33oz this is a hard tent to beat with a 5000mm fly waterproof rating.
