Cosmetic Blemish

Product will have several instances of a Dyneema blemish. Fully taped. No performance difference and full warranty applies. Dyneema is inherently irregular — the fiber weave is wiggly and it only becomes a potential structural problem when the distance between adjacent fibers approaches 1/8in. All the Dyneema blemish tents have one or more extra tape lines to account for these fiber gaps. The tape actually makes the fabric stronger than it would otherwise be and the “look” is really not that different given the presence of all the taping already present.

New for 2020, the patented Double Rainbow Li is our lightest arch pole supported shelter. Made with Dyneema®, this tent is ideal for users who want floor space to fit two long, wide pads. Dual side entry with dual vestibules, free standing capable with trekking poles, and hybrid double wall with optional liner, the Double Rainbow Li gives you the freedom and security you want for a wide range of conditions.

FAQs

Is the Double Rainbow Li fully waterproof?
Yes, it is fully seam-taped and fully waterproof. Dyneema® has a hydrostatic pressure rating of over 8,000 mm.

Which Dyneema fabric weights do you use?
The fly weight is 0.51 oz / sq yd
The floor weight is 1 oz / sq yd

Do I need trekking poles for general use?
No.

Can this Tarptent be converted to free standing?
Yes, it is free-standing with trekking poles of at least 140cm or at least 130cm in conjunction with our trekking pole tip extenders. We also offer a stiff “Vertical Support Pole” (weight 4.75 oz/ 135g) which can be used horizontally in lieu of a trekking pole.

Can I use this for winter?
The interior will be cool but the structure will withstand light snow loading.

Can I stuff the Double Rainbow Li to make it smaller?
The folded strut and arch pole can be stored separately but Dyneema fabric has a lifespan directly proportional to how you treat it. Roll, don’t stuff the fabric.

Does this Tarptent accommodate tall people (over 6 ft 3 in / 190.5 cm)?
Yes, the full floor length (88in / 223 cm ) is usable without running into an end wall.

Do I need the optional condensation liner?
The liner is useful for cool, damp conditions or anywhere condensation is unavoidable.

Are there any additional pullout points for extra staking?
Yes, there are additional pullouts on the arch sleeve.

Do I need a footprint?
Use of a groundsheet depends on the conditions you expect to encounter and your style of camping. The 1-oz Dyneema flooring is tough and does not usually require a separate groundsheet as long as the ground is clear of sharp objects. However, Dyneema, like all non-stretch fabrics, is subject to puncture under extreme pressure from sharp rocks or sticks. We sell optional Tyvek groundsheets which are very tough and great for sleeping out or taking a break, but generally heavier than you need for floor protection in most conditions. A groundsheet is recommended for use on very rocky ground and desert conditions.

Does not look blemished. No field test yet. New buyer. Great customer support. Returned a blem SSLi due to fit. Turnaround for exchange to blem DRLi was superb. My DRLi has updated pockets of conventional square fashion; not the small angled pockets.
