Half tye onlinereviews are written by people hike through hikes in the USA where the weather is. Little more stable.

I love lightweight shit and push the limits a bit hunting with a tarp and bivvy pretty much solely except in winter but from what I have gathered I agree with Ryan. Fiordland is not the place for them especially as most really light options don't have mesh and ares single wall leading to condensation issues which are a major if you get stuck in the tent all week which is likely.
