I am fly camping most of the time in NI bush but would like something for more open country/colder weather

I've been wondering why they have been 40 percent off for so long now aswell. It finally got to me and I purchased one to replace my old kuiu mountain star that is now leaking.

I've used my old one all over nz had it in torrential rain and some crazy wind and it held up well. I did have to sit up half the night holding it up in the wind but I'd doubt many tents would have held up in these winds.

Wonder if they're updating the model again .. seems a bit soon however.

Good to know you've put it through the wringer. I think I will get one as soon as I offload some stuff some from the shed, doesn't seem like the sale is going anywhere quick.
