Has the Double Rainbow DW and would not buy it again for two long wide pads: it fits two 25-inch pads only just, unless they are mummy pads used head to toe.

Has the Double Rainbow in both the DW and DCF versions and finds both great; condensation is minor with the door open and dries quickly.
Chose the Double Rainbow DW thinking they needed double wall in the Netherlands, but didn't like it: too big a footprint and inner, and a bit heavy. They switched to an X-Mid 1 Pro.
Got a Double Rainbow DW this spring and has used it one overnight so far; they chose it partly for its heavier-duty 30-denier fabrics for trips with their kids, and seam sealing it took about an hour.
Owns both a Double Rainbow DW and a Big Agnes UL1; the Tarptent feels less delicate and they prefer it, since it is a 2-person tent at about the same weight and volume.
Uses the Double Rainbow DW almost exclusively above treeline in the Sierra, anchoring it with rocks; setup is super easy.
Really likes their Double Rainbow DW; set up beside a Lanshan 2, it was much quicker to pitch and take down, and it can stay up at base camp.
About 30 nights in their Double Rainbow DW; they only use the extra pole holes in wind, and have never managed to attach the small strut to the inner without fear of breaking it.
Used their Double Rainbow DW for 3 nights in the Tetons and likes it, but the perfect pitch is hard: the fly spine never lines up with the inner arch pole however they adjust the tension.
