    Yes. Sensible placement lee side but do that with any tent. If you going any distance on foot it can't be beaten as a tent.

    Fiordland is not the place to experiment with gear.
    Shut up, get out & start pushing!

    I Have a Zpacks Triplex tent and rate it very highly.
    I Hunt with other guys that run the zpacks stuff and one particular guy has been running a zpack duplex for 8 years doing mainly tops hunting and it is still going strong.
    I have used the triplex from summer to -14 winter conditions and for the weight it is awesome!!!
    Not many other 3 person tents that weigh 900grams with poles and pegs

    Weights of tent alone (with all guy cords) and the freestanding kit/pegs and poles (instead of waking sticks)/pegs.

    Would add get the 0.67 cuben from memory in a darker colour...better stops light getting in as is a little stronger for a minor weight gain.
