Any opinions on these. A bit of 2 person bikepacking, or as a reasonably spacious tent for things like dyfi enduro.....
I've spent a night in one. Wasn't too impressed. Light, cheap, bit flimsy, inner first pitching. I think the guy who's it was sent it back.
I've got one of these, I used it last year for a two person trip to paris and back, it's nice and spacious. Two full size sleeping mats will go in and it's nice you each have a door.
I'm using it for the tour divide this year.....

Interesting. That looks a loose a pitch as my Alpkit Delta. Is the inner floppy as well?
I take it back. It was an ordos2. Still shite though...
How waterproof is it? The specs say 1200mm waterproofing, which seems to be a lot less than other brands. Anyone tried one in proper wet weather?
My Beta is a faff to pitch, and like all tents with such light flys, sags badly when wet. The inner is too lose.
But
It has stood up to a good dose of iffy weather so far, with just a small hole on the (thin) groundsheet. No worse in many ways to most uber light tents. And mine cost me £50 and weighs chuff all...
It pissed it down the night that picture was taken and it didn't leak
