  • if by well you mean top-end, then it would be cuben fiber (DCF) tents as that's the highest performance fabric available these days
    locus gear in japan are wizards with it, otherwise it's US companies; tarptent, HMG, SMD, and a couple of others
    there is trekkertent in the UK but they never have a solid run of good reviews

  • We were pretty pleased with our trekkertent drift, once it actually arrived. The lead times weren't/aren't accurate at all, and the communication was fairly sporadic and crap though.

  • Yeah, I mean, I have a Borah cuben bivvy and that came from the US too (via Australia for some reason, the carbon footprint egads!). I was going to buy another one from them but he slowed down production and stuff happened and so I just got a RAB instead. Not as light or compact but does the job. I just hate having to buy stuff from the US, thinking of the shipping, dealing with customs bullshit, warranty concerns, etc.

    So, if I could find the stuff locally I'd pay a bit more for that.
