    Zips seem small and feel like are not sturdy enough. Make sure you put fly on right way around if you don't you have the inner and outer opening in different directions. My one had holes appear in fly for no reason. Not sure if preexisting holes that got bigger or not. Reminds me I need to make a warranty claim.

    Suppose if you don't pay full price, reasonable value for money.

    There are 25 pages of reviews on the Bushbuck site - hard to beat that on here?

    121 reviews, all 5 stars? Somehow think that is a bit optimistic. Reasonable tent, but would take those reviews with a pinch of salt.

    Here's one 5 star review:

    "Great wee tent yet to experience the great outdoors, but easy to put up in the lounge.
    Great buy    "

    Bushbuck curate their reviews so have to take everything with a grain of salt. I chucked few average reviews for bits of gear that never seem to make the website.

    They are just a re badged Chinese ripoff of the msr hubba hubba.
    Buy one direct from chy-na and save yourself $200 bucks. I've got a lux version of the same tent and its been mint.

    Yip, same here. Even reviews that were partly positive but mentioned a few drawbacks never made it onto the website.

    A lot of Bushbuck gear seems to be rebadged generic Chinese stuff that you can get for half the price from Aliexpress.

    Have a look at this https://www.nzhuntingandshooting.co....a-clone-66856/ If you use the search you'll find other threads with comments on bushbuck, intents, naturehike, msr, etc. I'm more than happy with my $200 clone. So many clones now it's hard to tell what was the real thing! Probably the $900 MSR
