Hello from Switzerland! As I written in my presentation, I'm planning a long bike tour and it will probably start from your Australia. The last difficulty is to choose a new tent.
I discarded hundreds of tents/bivy/tarps and restricted my choice on these two tents:
- Tarptent Scarp 1
- Hilleberg Unna
For year round use 3.5 season, starting from Australia and then 4 season in the future.
SCARP 1
there are a lot of thread about Tarptent models on the forum, I like the general concept and the two doors but...
the mesh inner has... too mesh
the solid inner has... too solid
My idea is to bring both inners and switch between the two with huge versatility, this solution will pair the weight with the Hilleberg Unna, but the final price is dangerously close to the Hilleberg, just 120$ of difference, so it's worth the deal?
HILLEBERG UNNA
I like the all mesh door that could be zipped with the solid, I think is a good balance. The only downside compared with the Scarp is the single door and the extra 120$.
Thanks for any suggestions!
