I'm sure it doesn't slow the Jaybird down!  Wayne E.

Great review, Jay.  I have a new two-person REI Half-Dome, replacing my older one.  For a solo traveler, this is a great, good-value tent.

My goal for this year is to learn how to set it up correctly, a worthy goal as those who went to Sturgis last year would probably agree.

Moral: don't try to put up a new tent in the dark after riding 400-plus miles . . .

Hi Sean,

 

I'm  finally getting some energy back after this killer cold.  Here's my brief experience with the Redverz Tent in comparison to the REI ½ Dome 4-man tent I have used for several years:

 

<!--[if !supportLists]-->1.      <!--[endif]-->The REI weighs about ½ as much but seems only slightly larger than the Redverz when packed.  Either tent fits easily in the same space on my BMWs.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->2.      <!--[endif]-->The REI is quick to setup.  The Redverz takes longer, but with practice I should be able to hone setup time down quite a bit, although probably never as fast as the REI.  The REI had 8 stakes including the rainfly.  The Redverz has 16, but you can get by with 10 or 12.  It's a very stable tent when staked out.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->3.      <!--[endif]-->The REI actually has slightly more interior, covered-floor space, maybe 10% more, but the sides slope more so the corners and edges are not as accessible.  The sides of the Redverz covered-floored area are nearly vertical.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->4.      <!--[endif]-->Of course, the big difference is the vertical interior height and the huge vestibule of the Redverz.  I can stand up fully in the Redverz, whereas I can rise only to my knees in the REI tent.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->5.      <!--[endif]-->The Redverz has zips all over for ventilation and access, which should be beneficial in hot and colder climes.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->6.      <!--[endif]-->The vestibule should prove to be extremely valuable in wet weather and it's a great place to unpack and stow stuff.   I've only used it in mild weather so far.

 

I saw quite a few Redverz tensts at the Salem OR BMW rally last year.  After talking to several owners, I was persuaded to make the plunge.  I think it will prove to be a good investment.  However, I'm keeping my REI tent for short trips.

Jay hasn't piped in about his.  Is he out camping in it? :)

Huc; I thought it was Canadian law that all you hosers had to own a tent and set it up in your backyard at least once a year!  Wayne E. (I tipped Sean off that you might own one)

Just picked our up the other day

Had been looking at one for about a year

Given the snow we had I haven't been able to set it up outside as yet but now that the snow's cleared plan is to do so in a timely fashion

 

When I have any specifics to report I'll be happy to share :)

 

Not sure how Curtis knew I had one - then again I am an immigrant and the black helicopters do follow me around a lot and he does have 'connections' :) LOL

 

Cheers

Huc

Hey all,

 

 

Do any of you own a Redverz tent?  Sara and I began looking at new tents, and while shorting the list down, I stumbled onto the Redverz site and watched their videos.  While I don't have any plans to park the motorcycles inside, I was impressed with the utility of that bay area after watching the videos.

 

 

I would love to hear some first person review and accounts of the tent, if any of you own one.

 

Thanks!

 

- Sean
