MSR Zoid 1.5 Review

"What a great tent. Plenty of room for one plus gear. Two doors and two vestibules. Not free standing if that makes a difference. Taped seams and it weighs 4 pounds even on my postal scale. I am 6'1" 200# and like I said, I have plenty of room. Been in some pretty good rain showers and not a drop of water inside. I used this tent in Alaska and the Yukon in the summer and it performed very well. I would highly recommend this tent."

"I have the Walrus version of this tent (MSR bought them out a few years back but it is the same design). I originally bought it for the light weight and the extra room for my pooch (he is 60#, I'm 200# 6'2") There is plenty of room for both of us plus our gear. The two vestibules are very roomy with plenty of room for gear and boots. The ventilation is excellent and the yellow fly on the Walrus version lets in a nice light.

On the negative side, you need to be meticulus about guying out this tent properly in inclement weather. If the fly is not taught you will get water pooling on the rain fly and it will eventually drip in. Purchase some parachute cord, a few extra stakes and learn how to do a truckers hitch and you will stay dry as a bone."
