Good shelter needs little more leg room By terran from Smyrna, DE on 06/05/2008 Pros: Easy to set up, Lightweight, Sturdy, Waterproof Best Uses: Backpacking, Hiking Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: It's a perfect tent for weekend hike on the AT. With no poles to setup you'll need to look for camping spots that have the trees to tie off to for the tent setup.
Tarp-Tent hybrid well done By rangewalker from Buffalo WY on 05/09/2008 Pros: Comfortable, Easy to set up, Lightweight, Sturdy, Waterproof Cons: Collects Condensation Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Tarp and bivy user that needed to keep over-indulgent grandma happy when 10 year grandson out backpacking this year, i.e. my tarps don't have fully enclosed critter netting and floor. The Trig 2 is light enough to use if soloing. Note, this is a discontinued item from GoLite, they revamped their entire shelter line, with only the Hex3 surviving the cut.
By ogg from Southern California on 05/02/2008 Pros: Comfortable, Fly Works Well, Lightweight, Sturdy, Waterproof Cons: Stuff sack too small Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I was looking for a tent that would be light enough for solo use and yet roomy enough for both me and my 6 year old daughter. This tent meets those criteria perfectly. I've used the Trig2 twice in dry, windy conditions in Southern California. So far, I've experienced no condensation. The Trig held up very well to 35 kt winds. Pitching the tent well requires a bit of practice and can be time consuming since it requires 10-12 stakes, however I've found it to be easier to deal with overall than most of my other tents or tarps. The only flaw I've found is that the front guy loop should be about a foot longer in order to achieve a taut pitch of the front vestibule. I added a short length of guyline here. I also added short guylines to the center loops on the side roll-up panels. Guying out these panels when they are zipped closed improves ventilation. I also run the bottom of the rear pole through the loop on the rear panel to keep it away from the mesh and improve air flow. The roomy vestibule is great.
