Tents
I have a Trek II (now discontinued) which weighs just over 2kg. I bought it over the Cool Mountain 2, which I rate as a fantastic tent, because I'd like to be able to carry it without sharing the load, and the Cool Mountain 2 is just too heavy for that. Its a great tent shared between 2 though!

Overall I feel it's good value for money because you need to spend around 4k to get an imported equivalent. The 4 season rating I don't agree with though and for someone my height I need a longer tent for me and gear... 2 doors are a nice touch which helps ease the smaller floor size

I have the K-Way Nerolite and have taken it on 3 hikes since getting it and I have had issues
What issues have you had? Will be interested to hear as I'm still not sure if you or Ghaz has got a better tent.
Please do report back how it performs in winter conditions.
(p.s. I hope you get some really strong winds, so that we can get a report on how it holds up to those )

This is the biggest problem with my tent, is has only door/entrance. I believe the 2-door designs are much better, I definitely prefer them.ASL wrote: 2 doors are a nice touch which helps ease the smaller floor size

As far as I can remember the cool mountain 360 deg tent weighs 2,9kg.

I agree with ASL this tent is not for tall people. I am 1.83m as well and I tried out the tent in the shop......too short for me! So Shorties, this is a tent for you
