What we didn’t
- Too heavy for serious ultralight use

Our review
The Half Dome gives up weight and gains space, durability and a much lower price. For anyone not walking twenty miles a day it is the better buy, and REI's return policy removes the risk entirely.
It is too heavy for serious ultralight backpacking. Packed size is noticeably larger.
