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 found this online and did a search to see if anyone here had anything to say. Nothing so far....It looks like a cheap version of a proven design.
You can currently have a 3 person tunnel tent for AU$209 delivered which seems like very good value to me.

You have links to different tents. The terra-nova link is to the Hoolie 2 while the cotswold outdoor is to the Hoolie 3 which adds almost a kilo in weight. Cotswold do have the 2 person version for an additional $40.

Wild Country is the middle-of-the-road brand with Terra Nova being their premium line. The said, these tents are good value and should be quite well made and fit for purpose.

The 2 is a bit narrow? Looks like good buying still if on a budget. I don't mind polyester personally, even though iv'e noticed other poly tents haven't seemed to last as long in years past, probably more the type and quality of material coating. Tatonka make a Nallo knockoff, as another option, usually solid gear. The WC price is hard to beat.
