If careful with ventilation should be ok to cook inside, bring all the gear in, etc. How do you with getting in and out when it's raining? Do you have any tips there? Ultamid is available in NZ from packraftingnz - and the price is reasonable compared to what it would cost to bring it in from the States. What tent are you using @Nick-D ?

Smd Deschutes mate so a bit smaller but very light. Sweet to get in and out in the rain as the opening is to the peak and the living space is all in the back half. So all your gear etc stays dry.

I've cooked in mine just make sure it's open and ventilating.

Only real downside to them is they do condensate pretty good in wet areas

The full system weight with biv, quilt, pad, and tent is like 1.4 kg, while still being pretty comfy.
