Macpac Elcipse Horizon
Original post
Anyone any experience with the Macpac Horizon Eclipse 2-person tent? Looking at buying a secondhand one: it's heavier than I would normally look at, but it does look like a sturdy tent.
Specific questions:
- is the vestibule large enough to cook under / keep boots, etc under in adverse conditions?
- are they sandfly-proof? (both of our 2 larger non-NZ tents have mesh large enough for a few to get through ... hence the purchase)
Any other criticisms / advice welcome.
Cheers

Had an Eclipse, never had a problem with the bugs. Never tried to cook in the vestibule always looked a bit too close for comfort for that, but kept boots and pack there, can be a bit tight with two of everything.
