I just received and setup my Double Rainbow Li. It arrived via UPS from the US in 4 business days. Very fast, all things considering.

The small details like the awning between the two door panels and the magnetic closures are really nice touches. The overall quality is excellent just like my 2019 Notch Li and also the Sil version. Ill mostly use this in good 3 season conditions by myself and occasionally with my partner if I can convince her to come along...
I can't believe the length inside. I'm 6'2" and have a huge (no exaggeration) amount of room at both my head and feet if I'm centred in the tent. I wouldn't come close to touching the ends even with my -12c bag and on my large xtherm/xlite. My head would likely touch the ceiling if I were sitting on my mat. Its always a pain avoiding a wet footbox in single wall tents but I'm certain it won't be an issue in this shelter because of the length.
The carbon poles are thin and definitely need to be treated more kindly than your standard aluminium poles. The tent pitches taught and very easily. I was surprised how sturdy it felt when setup. I wouldn't want to put it through the same weather as my mid or even my Notch's but I think it will play nicely in moderately windy conditions and even a light dusting of snow.
The vestibules are smaller than expected. Enough room for a pack and shoes but not enough to cook in. No big deal imo.
The tent peg bag and the tent stuff sack look like they have been improved over the previous offerings. The peg bag has a drawstring and the stuff sack is now reinforced at the drawstring area. Nice touches.
Im headed out to Jagungal for a week next week and was planning on taking it but the weather appears to be coming in and ill likely take the Ultamid instead. If it clears ill take the DR and report back with more impressions.
