Deschutes Plus

Their Deschutes Plus with bug netting weighs about 16 oz and cost about $200; in a wet Colorado summer they wished it had a bathtub floor and folded up a polycro groundsheet to compensate.

Used tarps for the whole CDT, including a Deschutes Plus in Colorado, and was always dry and comfortable.

Really likes their Deschutes Plus, especially in drier areas, and still grabs it for shorter solo trips, though they moved to a DCF Duplex on thru-hikes because it doesn't absorb water on rainy days.

Had the same lack-of-space problem with the Deschutes Plus as the poster, given their similar height and weight, and is now trying the roomier GG Whisper instead.

Bought the Deschutes Plus in spring 2018 and has used it as their go-to solo shelter for 20 to 30 nights a summer, mostly above treeline in the Wind River Range. Finds it fairly stormproof with a small footprint and just enough room for an average hiker; the perimeter netting keeps out about 99% of flying bugs, though gaps need weighing down and the zipper is tight to work from inside on a taut pitch.

Owns both an X-Mid 1 and a Six Moon Designs Deschutes Plus, and the Deschutes Plus is their favorite shelter.

Spent 25+ nights in a Deschutes Plus at 6'0" on an XTherm; space is tight, the zipper feels sketchy but never failed, and it gets steamy breathing inches from the wall, so they wish it had vents on both door panels.

Used the Deschutes Plus with just polycro as a floor; it is a little more forgiving to pitch than the Lunar Solo, and at 6 ft they used the head and foot pullouts for a bit more room on an XLite.
