too tense?

Nice but a tad heavy at 1.9kgs. Have you had a look at the Vango Helium 200 or the Vaude Hogan? Just a thought....!

http://www.equipoutdoors.co.nz/contents/en-us/p998.html the Vaude is too rich for me I think ($531) and I can't find the Vango Helium online (in NZ) coleman have another option (within budget) http://www.colemannz.co.nz/products/COCTA1113

I recently got hold of one of these: http://www.tarptent.com/productsheets/SQUALL2.pdf Weight including two nice poles and 4 beautiful pegs is exactly 1kg. Price with $NZ60 freight was about NZ$340.00 Delivery was about 8 days. Henry Shires is an exceedingly reputable character whose prodcuts are a legend in the North American lightweight long distance hiking community. The tent as delivered seems very well made and thought out and on the two occasions we've used it so far it's performed well. It's definitely a 3 season tent, and I'd be reluctant to pitch it anywhere exposed on the tops... but considering it's intended range of use ...I really like it so far.

I have a Six Moon Design Lunar Duo which I'm looking at selling. These are a very roomy two person Tarptent and it weighs 41 oz. It's the one with a slightly heavier duty floor. http://www.sixmoondesigns.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage_smd.tpl&product_id=37&category_id=7&vmcchk=1&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=110 My daughter and I have used this tent on the Queen Charlotte track and it's got plenty of room for two. Probably let it go for, say, $150?

@ rp1790 Hi, are still selling your Lunar Duo? Thanks, Matt

Hi Matt, sorry, it's been sold. Excellent tent though...and with the exchange rate, worth buying one direct.

Thanks very much for replying! Will definately look into it... Why did you sell it? Too big for 2 people, not water proof? Thanks Matt

it would be cool if you provide some screen shots of it !
