The local Wiley's store is having their annual pre-inventroy sale, and I thought now would be as good a time as any to get a new tent. the two they've got left that i'm interested in are the ALPS Mountaineering Mystique 1.5, which is $100(retail about $130), and the columbus Explorer Camp set, which includes solo tent, sleeping bag, and backpack with water bladder, for $50(retail $126). I don't know anything about either of these brands, so i'm asking here. The columbus set is tempting given the price, but it seems to me like they must have sacrificed quality to offer all that for about the same price as just the tent from the other brand.
