Title pretty much says it.
Curious if anyone has experience with the AC2.( Their new single wall alpine tent).
Hard to get info out of them and limited info on web so looking for someone who might have first hand experience.
Looks good from limited info, god fabric, sleeved poles...
thanks

I might be one of the few out there to have one. I've put about 5 nights in mine so I can't really speak too much as far as durability and poor conditions go. Spent a day in the rain in the north cascades and condensation wasn't as bad as you might expect with a single wall tent. The bug netting on the opening is appreciated for venting in warmer weather, although it makes for a second zipper to deal with on entry and exit. Other than that it's a single wall bivy tent, not much space to hang out in.

I haven't been following bivy type shelters, was this made to replace the EV line or the direkt?

Seems like a bit of both. The 3 has integrated vestibule, the 2 has it as a separate option.

Had my local dealer order one direct through the rep in December, they said mid feb delivery and are thinking this week...!
another good sign is that REI has them up on the web with a pre order status- I figure REI would only list them if they had confidence in getting them.

Any updates on how these have been working out for people?  I picked one up for a decent price last night but could still return it....  

I generally love all my MH stuff and their warranty dept is great so I have high hopes!
