Megamid and Mega Bug > Black Diamond
This may be the most versatile combo in the tent market. The Megamid has long been a great tent/tarp shelter with an elegantly simple single pole setup. It is terrific for quick storm shelter, desert trips, and an auxiliary tarp. By adding the Mega Bug, which can be inserted under the Megamid or stand alone as a bug-barrier, fair-weather shelter, you get coverage for almost any circumstance. It's comfortable for four people with stand-up headroom, and more stormproof than you'd expect. The megacombo is a great choice for warm-weather destinations or as additional camp shelter. The only downside is that you really get no vestibule if you sleep four.

| I just hate this type of review. Very expensive tents when a 50 dollar coleman will serve just as well. So what if it wears out after a few seasons..but a new one! For a bit better tent you can step up to 150 bucks. 500 bucks for a tent is just robbery!! |

| Wow John, I couldn't disagree more. Get caught in a major wind and rain storm or lug that tub of a tent you bought for 50 bucks across a 2500 yard portage and believe me you'll be happy to part with the extra 3 hundred bucks. I bought a Mutha Hubba and spent 16 days in Algonquin in late August. Fantastic tent, plenty of room for me and the missus and we were dry in the worst kind of weather (our paddling mates couldn't say the same.) Trust me, you get what you pay for. And besides isn't it time to stop living in a throwaway culture. The world doesn't need more land fill courtesy of Coleman. |
