I'm looking For a budget mid that can handle seriously high winds (at least 40mph). In general this is for 3 season use.
The Lanshan 1 Pro is 690g, 20D silpoly, but when pitched with it's back to the wind, it only has one guyline to pull the rear-centre ridgeline out against the wind. I like the silpoly option and the new additions at the head and foot end to avoid touching the fly.
The Astagear is 580g, 15D silnylon, but has 3 guyouts on the rear so that every ridge line is supported when pitched into the wind. This seems like a superior design but I'm curious what others think.
They are the same price.
If anyone has any other suggestions under 200$ and 800g then feel free to chime in
