Correct, their business model is no middle man so order direct.
No hassles with the international shipping bar the price and potential for customs to tax you

3 x AAA batteries. So only another 74 grams to the non-lighted version of the same tent. These AAA batteries will last 1000's of hours apparently. So that is a lot of nights use. This roar over 4 nights I would not have used an hours worth.

I thought that as well. but it is all sewn into the tent, so no having to remember any kit. And it runs on 3 AAA batteries that last 1000's of hours. So once there you can forget about them.....and its only another 74 odd grams. Well worth it!!!

Looks like a good piece of gear and 1.6kg is impressively light.

That's a more fun way of doing it.

Funny enough looking at the Kuiu tents their 4 season 'storm star' has the same pole layout/structure as my old Fairydown, just with the tent clipping up to it instead of being sleeved. And quite a bit lighter, improvements in modern materials I guess.

Got a minaret as well and bloody happy with it. Yes needs pegs to stay up but doesn't need many and on a good day have it all up in under 5 minutes. Yes it's a small 2 man but I find it perfect for me and all my gear. Pack and contents fits next to where I sleep. Spent a few windy nights in it and yet to lose confidence in it staying up. And 9 times out of 10 I don't even bother putting the guy roles up

Just got a new minaret myself since macpac are having their sale. $450. 2260gm all good to go after seam sealing, thats everything including the small spares kit. Without the inner would be around the 1450gm mark for summer missions.

I got the big angus fly creek 2 person.

Its quite cuddly with 2 people and tapers so you cant top and tail. Other downside is there is fuck all gear storage and no led lightning hahahaha bloody good as a 1 man tho and think it was 1 1 - 1.1kg with xtra pegs and ground sheet chucked it on the gym scales. Only 3 season will test it in the snow shortly.

Without being to homosexual that's actually the best way to sleep with 2 people, there are no knees or kicks to th me face and nuts and you actually have a more comfy sleep,

I just prefer to carry my one man tent so illiminate the problem
