Tents

Better to go there... lots of items not on the site

Its about time Drifters made an online store. They are a bit expensive but a very specialised store, they have great products!

ASL is correct, they have more items in store, for example they only have one tent online and I am sure there is more in store.

Interestingly enough I've often found them cheaper than Cape Union Mart for the identical item!

Sup Guys!

Got me tent early

Can anyone tell me what that red flap is for? I'm assuming it's to cover the window from the inside?

Lucky man...
It took me a while to figure it out as well and yes, it is to cover the 'window' when you are in a public campsite.

Whew! Here I was wondering if it was a complimentary loin cloth

Hehe... could also be a potty cover! Good looking gear!

Hello VE!

I have been following posts on this forum for some time, but this is my first post.

I am moderately experienced Berg hiker, but have not done many multiple day journeys, which I am now venturing into! Most of the overnight trips I have done before have been with others who had hiking tents for me to share. Now I am in the market for a lightweight two-man hiking tent. I must say thanks to all for the detailed information about the various tents on the market in SA. I have narrowed my choices down to three from reading the posts here and other gear reviews. Two of them are lower budget (K-Way Nerolite 2 and Outdoor Elements Misty 2) and the third one is a mid-budget (MSR Elixer 2).

What I am interested in is a tent that could handle a bit of snow on the summit in winter and obviously to be able to deal with the wind. Does anyone have an opinion on whether the options I have listed above would suffice?

I see that the Cool Mountain II is quite a popular choice of tent.
If any one on the West Rand in JHB is looking for one Outdoor Warehouse at West Rand Retail Crossing still has one, still in it's bag

Was there on Sunday....
