3 of us went to Lake Rhona over Xmas. Luvly thing to do, also very nice that we had the lake virtually to ourselves for 2 days. 13 came our way as we started walking out on Boxing Day.
But to the topic ... we had 2 TarpTent Scarp 2's. Both of them about 8 years old and have had plenty of use.
Especially Jill's, which has been to a lot of places, maybe used an average of 8-10 weeks x 7 nites per year (doesn't it suck when some of your friends are retired and do as they please ? )
Jill also managed to completely wear out the sliders on some of her zippers due to fine dust in Patagonia.
Anyway ... the tents are still in a good condition, given the amount of use they've had and how light the materials are compared "to the old days". They may well last another 8 years. Pretty darn good that is I reckon.
And TarpTent sent Jill a complete set of new zipper sliders when she asked them about where to buy them.
Sooo ... thumbs up, golden stars and whatever to TarpTent for the durability of the tents and for the customer service!
