…and the verdict is...
Positives
1) Netting is real midge netting, so useful up north.
2) Potential for some nice moments lying in your hybrid, cooking under the big flap, looking out at the world etc.
3) Cheap (in Australia - not so cheap once you have shipped it to the UK and paid duty and an £8 RM "handling" charge)
Negatives
1) No pole pockets so it falls down all the time. Serious comedy potential
2) Too small inside so it would be a condensation nightmare, with your sleeping bag drenched by morning
3) Can't sit up in it
4) Iffy sewing; peg anchor points would pull out, I reckon, in the first big blow
5) Very hard to tension up correctly, especially with the main door open. Relies heavily on good peg placement
Verdict : save up for a Hilleberg Akto or use a tarp.
If anyone wants to come over and pick up this curiosity for further experimentation, or perhaps a pass-around, be my guest.
