nemo galaxy 2p

Hopefully won't get booted from the site for overloading the new guy question quota Just wondering if anyone used the above tent. Was thinking with the mesh and dual vestibules would be good for airflow in warmer weather. Would this be sound reasoning? Also Is nemo a pretty good brand?

there is a strict 99 questions limit for the first month.
So you need to pace yourself.

I should be okay then, just. Most of my setup is working for me, being fairly isolated here( as in not a lot of other hikers) you end up with a few queries accumulating, or things you'd like to verify with like minded folk. Hence the rapid fire on varied subjects. Shortly I will retire to my jungle lair armed with new knowledge and probably a smaller bank balance.

Nemo gear is definitely good quality. Iv'e not had their pole tents, but others.
Really a hammock would be ideal? Otherwise I think some of Tarptents 2 door models would be a good versatile option for warm tenting?

Thanks Nuts, the tarptent bowfin 1 ticks a lot of boxes, going to email them to ask about different colored flies aka green or drab earth tones. Probably no luck but worth a try as I'd like to fit into the surroundings esp hiking SE Asia. Hammocks are king in forest but prefer an all round option for varied terrain.

btw does anyone know if there is there an Australian distributor for Tarptent?

[Nuts]

ha, yeah, franco ^^^.. good luck getting anything but drab grey
That said, maybe it fits in to surrounds better than Nemo, their green is very bright.

Thanks!

Franco I guess its the one colour scheme only?

Regards the nemo, I was probably going to run with the earth/brown colour. Seems to be a couple versions of the galaxi I have noticed as well. An older more standard dome and one where they bent the poles ,I think slightly different colour scheme as well..

Learn something new every day.. brown eh.. I do like their airbeam developments for bivy's and small tents.
'Six Moon Designs' also have some good 'straight pole' shelters that would work well for warm walking. They are lightweight and good value.. and have a green option. I have a (white) Luna Duo, two doors low floor and mesh etc.
