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.NEW TENT!

Heellooo guys!
I'm on a mission.
I need a good quality 2 man tent.
For hiking, obviously.
Light weight would be handy too.
looking to spend 350$ on it, tops.
Im going to be doing quiet a bit of walking in the future and I know it will come to good use, so,
I need a good one, have chatted to some close friends that do a fair bit of walking. Would love some more ideas.
Thanks bunches guys!

Where are you going to be using it?

Thanks for the plug but the Moment is a solo tent, in fact the smallest of the TT solo tents.
If Molly likes the idea of a Tarptent , then I would suggest the Double Rainbow at around 1200g all up.
You can get a liner for that one if humidity is a problem. That catches drips from the fly.
Or you can look at the Scarp 2. This is a large double wall two person tent. Can be converted for winter use too (with the extra poles)
However the Scarp 2 is $325 US, so a bit more than $350 delivered. (around $370)

How about a brand new cheery yellow shangri-la 3 delivered to your door for $250. It's about 750 grams and will cop more of a beating than most 3 season tents around.
Pm me for details if interested

A few days ago I received a Big Agnes Seedhouse SL1 (http://www.bigagnes.com/Products/Detail ... edhouseSL1) from the US. I'm more than impressed with the quality.
There is a 2-man version available, it's only 1.5kg and with shipping it would cost you around AU$350 from the US, so it fits in your budget.

It would be great if you could post a review and perhaps some photos/video. It looks like a great tent!
I'm interested to see it's packed size compared to every day objects.

using it on fairly easy environment, but hey its tassie, you dont know what type of weather you are going to get hey... 
Yeah, I am more looking for more information just on normal 2 man tents. I have never heard of tarptents though, so will have to look into then anyway.
Oh lalala Macca. :p
Matthias, that tent looks like a good tent... Did that use to be yours? what's it like?
