We stand by our gear, so definitely let us know if you run into any issues at all
Man you guys are top notch, thanks for all the replies. For the longest time I wanted to try out DCF and see how it performed in comparison. I love my superfly, but I find that I have to keep resealing it ( especially the sewn in loops in the body for door tie back/expanding it outward. I really, really like the idea of the DCF winter palace. It's light enough that I won't mind carrying it in the summer ( epic porch mode w/the width ) and having something that stays rigid in storms/snow is great. I'll use some shock cord for the guy lines so it doesn't pull up during heavy wind, but with silnylon it tends to stretch as it hangs and gets loose by morning. I tend to push the limits of my setup in crazy *** weather so I want to make sure all of my assumptions are solid. I definitely appreciate the input.
You're likely referring to both of my posts about the Palace...
I have a Standard with doors as well, and the doors overlap each other when you close them flat. The Palace doesn't allow for this unless you pitch a REALLY steep pitch. In beak mode they are fine. I've given up trying to get them to overlap.. just isn't going to happen.
Worth noting.. if wind and rain is hitting the tarp on the quarter, being able to lay the windward door over the leward door prevents wind from blowing right in. Tremendously valuable to me. HYOH.
As far as the leak... That wasn't a failure in the build. HG said they found a pin hole and repaired it. I couldn't guess how it happened.
Yes, my pack weighs 70lbs, but it's all light weight gear....
