Was a huge Macpac fan b4 they went offshore - I imagine the up top end still passes the Q test ??

I was leaning towards the MSR Hubba 2 man - for weight and compactness and undercover storage etc
@gadgetman - can you elaborate on what you mean Re "able to pitch the fly first, or even better the fly and inner connected" please

I went from a MSR to a "Big Agnes" Fly Creek tent and I love it. Light, strong and has heaps of good features.

Did you go with carbon poles and have you used it much yet?

Went with carbon poles, once set up it is very rigid and sturdy. I have used it about 6 or 7 times. Haven't been in any serious weather yet.

I really like the exterior sections to the tent, makes it ideal for a 2 person as each guy can have one side of the tent to himself to store gear / boots / rifle.

Pretty quick to setup and ultra light. A few little handy pockets on the inside too which is helpful. I'm happy with my purchase, I think it would go well in serious weather.

+1 on the MSR Access 2, take a look at the pole design in particular https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcYYsBlfG1U[/URL]


MSR Hubba range are great tents, but very lightweight construction and not suited to use on the tops.

I can't remember really, about $650. Give or take

Yeah you won't really find much in the way of deals for one. Generally max of 15% off but that rarely happens

I'd also consider the Kuiu Shelter, just had a look. Seem's like a pretty good ultra light piece of kit. 800ish grams including pegs. Doesn't include floor though. $300USD. Our exchange rate is pretty good at the moment too.

My mountain star is 1.4KG including pegs. It would hold up better in shitty situations though.
