Not really, kinda trying to stay away from all the US stuff (unless some second hand kit turns up).

I've just ordered one from a UK store, if that was your concern. Got it as a spacious 1 person but with the idea my partner will come along on some trips.

So, other than my aversion to AliExpress, why would I buy one of these over a Lanshan (2ish person)? That one is 1356g (excludes pegs & bags) but looks like it packs pretty small - do you have an idea of the pack length?

In other news, it's totes gonna piss it down early morning Sunday right where we are bivvying.

Packed Size for the tent: 15 x 30cm / 6" x 12"
Looks like the pole bag is fractionally wider.

My reasons, don't want to spend ages researching, it's nicely done with biking in mind, US colleague highly rates the company, don't want to buy twice... and they accept paypal credit.
