My cobbler advised me to smear the wax on very lightly. He reckoned otherwise it can soak through and rot other structures. Anyway, I'm doing as he advised.
Saw someone's lightweight 3 season 2 person tent recently. It was a Mont, an Australian brand and weighed under 2kg. It has a mesh inner, not like our Montbell which has breathability problems. http://www.mont.com.au/index/catalog/product/112
Morena, Gaitors, ended up getting a Mantis 2 ... mostly for motor cycle touring and will use a 3m x3m tent fly over bike and tent . Cost $299, roll on summer!
