NEW :Hilleberg all mesh inner

Bushwalking gear and paraphernalia. Electronic gadget topics (inc. GPS, PLB, chargers) belong in the 'Techno Babble' sub-forum.

TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

(I am pretty sure that Moontrail don't mind me stealing the pic from their site since they are one of the nearest dealers, about 1 click away...)

I just found these- too cool! Now i'm really happy. I just got home from the Scout Hut for 2 nights, to find my Nallo GT waiting for me.

Now I'll have a Summer tent too..... :-)

Brett
You are right about TT closing up their tents...
The next production of the Scarp will have a much lower fly with the option of pulling it up the pole so that you can regulate the amount of ventilation you want. This was done mostly for the English market where the rain is a bit warmer than down there but just as wet.
But of course they still have the trademark Squall/Rainshadow and Contrail .
I think that for a solo three season shelter the Moment is worth considering. Looks very solid to me.
I do think that it is a good move on the part of Hilleberg, the price (I think...) should be tempting enough for most people that have a Nallo or the Akto and use them in summer too.

At 85 c for our dollar sounds like the right time to buy...

Yup- just came in the mail today. I really liked the Hogback, but Henry advised me it'd need some modification to handle the conditions, and as I was hoping to use it this break, I went with the Hillberg. I'll pick up a Contrail or Squall for myself later, I think (I think those are the 4 season models).

The Hogback will have optional cross poles similar to the Scarp but still it is not designed for 80kmph winds...
The Moment is (IMHO) a 3.5 season tent, the others , excluding the Scarps (apart from the way I use the Contrail...) are 3 season only.
