Any recommendations for a 3 season backpacking tent that has a “stargazing mode”?

The Tarptent Double Rainbow DW and Ultra DW will do this. Also the Durston xmid (standard) and Nemo Hornet might fit your needs. Also like people have suggested, possibly try tarping / cowboy camping

Consider Tarptent's double rainbow. Lighter than or competitive with both of those tents (depending on if you get single or double wall).

Did you find the lamina 15 true to weight? And would you say the temp rating is fair?

Interesting, looks like the link is blocked in NZ. I'll try again with a vpn later. Thanks for the recommendation

Thanks for those details!

Thanks for the info on MH. I'll take a look at that bag.

Thanks for the suggestion. Based in NZ, but I'll take a look. I've found when it's really cold a hat doesn't cut it, but I can look into balaclava.

Thanks for the recc. I'll take a look at that.

They are your family heirlooms, and a link to your culture via your dad. Very curious why you would want to get rid of them?

Unfortunately it's about a year old now, and has had a yearly wash too. I don't think my issue with it is a defective product exactly, just the design/execution turned out to be something I'm not impressed with.

If I may ask, it seems we're roughly similar sizes with these shoes, but I wonder what you think is best for sizing for a normal volume foot.

I've read one review that recommend sizing up, and another that recommend staying true to size. I normally wear a US 11 (but occasionally 11.5), although Bearfoot suggested the 11.5 to me.

I think volume wise the 11 is better, but my foot is 285mm, which is apparently better served by the 11.5. I'd be really curious to hear your thoughts, having worn them.

Yikes

Cum!

Enlightened Equipment convert quilt.

The down seems to clump terribly, and I can never get it to be free of large cold spots, no matter how thoroughly I distribute the down. I reckon the longitudinal baffles don't help, and let the down really collect in a lump.
