• might let in moisture from underneath if the ground is damp

    But doesn't the 3000mm HH rating mean it won't?

    Might just get a lighter tent then. Currently got a crappy 2/3 man.

    Edit: I think you're right about the waterproof zips. But it does have a large flap which covers the zip. Meaning most water (if from above) won't get near it.

  • I've got an Alpkit one, super impressed. Wish I'd bought green though to blend in.

    I use a fishing tarp and they're perfect. Cheaper and with the eyelets in useful places. Most often i actually use the tarp on the ground and wrap my bags inside it. Mostly because i've used it fields more than forests.

  • It does look good but doubt I'd use it much to make it worthwhile. Been looking into a smaller lighter tents (as I'd get more use out of one) but struggling to find much that would fit me (6'6").
