    Ahhh "hopper" not "hooper" looks like a heavier more expensive version of the mongar 2 which is what I have, it's probably thicker silnylon which will make it stronger but also heavier. Same design as the mongar probably made by same manufacturer just different spec. All these tents are made in China the only difference is who you buy off and depending on the brand quality control and materials used.
    The benefit of buying from intents outdoors is you have someone local to deal with for service or Warranty issues but you pay for that privilege hence the hopper being $300+ and the mongar 2 only around $200 if and when my mongar shits itself I'd probably just buy another I've had a good run out of it.

    +1 For a Mongar 2. We use ours often with 2 people. Combined we are shorter than dannyb but the tent offers reasonable room and has done us well so far for a budget tent.

    Cheers heaps for the advice! Coming in at 6'3, a couple of the options were ruled out early. Have ended up going for a Kiwi Camping Weka 2. Was very close to going for the Mongar but decided to keep it local and give myself a warranty to fall back on just incase!

    Has slightly better stats (on paper) than the Monger and got it for $299. Will be back to give a quick review on it in a week or two when I take it for a test run.

    Has anyone bought a tent from Novapro NZ? Looking at their Illumina X 2 person tent. After a wee tent for quick overnight trips where I don’t want to lug the heavier tent in. They look the same as a naturehike cloud up 2 to me? 1.5kg and $260 seems like a good deal

    At 6'3" don't get a Macpac mineret. It will be too short. They also fairly heavy at 2.4kg

    You could ring Craig at Southern Adventures in Invercargill on 03-2183239
    If you join at no cost as a V.I.P. you get 15% discount on almost all purchases and several times a year they do 25% of most items.
    Craig gets in MSR, Nemo and a range of other tents and always much cheaper than the Local H&F store etc

    FINALLY got the chance to get out for a trip that required the use of a tent. The Kiwi Camping Weka 2 was brilliant for what we needed. Kept us and the packs 100% dry. Assembly and disassembly are super easy with the colour coded poles. Enough room for two 6'+ lads, so a good option for the bigger fullas.

    I second this comment! I'm 6'2", and can just stretch out. The angled vestibule also means it's really only a 1.5 person tent... or 1 person with room for all your kit beside you.

    Other than that, bloody sturdy tent though! Had mine prob about 7-8 years and still going strong! Had a lot of use, and the first damage was a guy rope getting ripped off during this sleepless night in the Tararuas in November: https://youtube.com/shorts/gYidyeDq808?feature=share. Just plain stubbornness not to go into the hut!

    I cannot give enough praise to the NatureHike Cloud up 3. Purchased from an NZ based retailer for $165 including a ground sheet.

    We have just spent 9 days in fiordland with that and my much more expensive Big Agnes tent and I can hand on my heart say that taking cost out of it I’d rather the NatureHike. It is 400g heavier but has much more room and feels more durable. The zips and doors are user friendly and have a solid feel to them. It’s solid as in high winds and water tight so far.

    Impressive tent for the price. With great weight to price ratio.

    Cheers
