O.k. aftre all of the looking I think I might change overfrom the marmott Eos 1p to the MSR Zoid 1.5. Does anyone have any good experience with it? Does it have bathtub floor? Where did you order it from since you can't buy it in stores. Any feedback on this one.

Hubba
Get a Hubba. Once you go freestanding you'll never go back.

I'm only 6'0 but the hubba and the Eos both were too short, I am having a hard time becaause I prefer free standing but cannot find one that meets the length I am looking for and wieghs under 4 lbs. I could get a much better price on the hubba that is for sure.

One of my friends has the Zoid 1.5 or 2.0 and is happy with it. He's also about 6 ft tall. I can't remember if it has a bath-tub floor, but MSR has good customer service, so send them an email with that question.

i have the zoid 1.5 and i have nothing bad to say about it. easy to set up, easy to tear down. keeps you dry. has decent vestibules and a bathtub floor. has a good weight too.

I have the microzoid and have no trouble either. In fact, I crushed one of the poles and had to improvise just as a thunder storm set in. The tent saged under 10 straight ours of heavy rain and only let in a minimum amount of water.

I am also 6'0" and have just enough room. It is tight, but the tent is perfect.
