What Redditors Say
Best praise vs top criticism for Zpacks Duplex
Best Praise
+13 pts“I have used Duplexes for more nights than any other tent. DCF floor is fine without a footprint with no abrasion problems that I have noticed. I've used an X-Mid Pro 2 for more than a year. The silnylon is fine, but I use a polycro footprint (about 50 g). I cannot imagine either getting shredded at all even on granite. Besides, DCF is trivially patched. I suspect silnylon is as well. I do carry both DCF patch/tape and silnylon patch in my repair kit.”

+6 pts“That ain't 0.5. If you look at the tent its an old ass duplex that has been patched. Probably sold by an thru hiker (remember that the dcf are supposed to hold one of 6 month hike) and that guy complained when it was shredded.”

What Redditors Say
Best praise vs top criticism for Nitecore NB10000
Best Praise
+58 pts“A single large power bank will probably take more time to recharge, than say three NB-10000. Also will have less redundancy and be a single point of failure than three NB-10000. Also for group trips three separate NB-10000 will let 3 different people use them (and carry them) than a single power bank. Also for shorter trips maybe only taking one of the NB-10000 is feasible. And one can get 3 wall chargers to parallel charge three NB-10000. In summary, I can understand why there not too many larger powerbanks sold.”

+20 pts“That doesn’t suprise me. I had 3 or 4 different bum power banks from Nitecore. They get recommended a lot due to the weight stats but you don’t have to look real far to find folks who have had issues with them.”
