It's Solomon not salomen

Pfc free rots fast the old ones going good 20 years on

Thanks for the review.

Just bought one. It crinkles like a bin liner and seems embarrassingly thin for the money, so it's reassuring you've road tested it in cornstalky/rocky conditions. Great review, thanks

I'd be interested to hear if the cut has changed. I tried the medium and large and they were both unwearable, the back panel was so tight I could barely move my arms. 5'10 and 165lb, no resemblance to Quasimodo either! I'd have kept mine if the cut was even nearly normal. I like the nosilife trousers other than non of the ends of the stitches are locked so they all just come undone. Great product with silly mistakes.

£630??? 😂 I’d rather book a hotel ffs 😂

Hello everyone! We wanted to jump here to answer some of the comments that hope it will help :) The height of the catenary cuts and the height of the extended floor fabric is similar to the Hilleberg models. It does look more extreme on the Moa Lite in some angles due to the longer distance between poles. The higher catenary cut in the rear is intended to give the Moa Lite better ventilation. For this reason the ground sheet is extended upwards much higher than on competitors models. This may however be hard to see when the rear is rolled up due to the connection point being half way up the floor fabric. Thus the lower half is compressed down when the inner is pegged to the ground. When connected to the outer tent, the angle pulls the floor upwards and gives 15cm of vertical wall plus another 10 to 15cm of floor fabric on the slanted area. Regarding the risk that the rear pole may be pushed in/down in high winds, there is an extra guy line attachment point in the center of the pole where you may add an extra guy line to counter these forces. It is not included as standard to keep the weight down as the tent has been more than capable to withstand conditions that most people will encounter without the rear line. In harsh conditions we recommend to add an extra guy line, either straight or as a V for maximum strength both at the rear and at the front to further reinforce the already strong construction. Thanks for your comments and feel free to reach out to us with any questions! 😁

Looks great, thanks!

A cigarette of course .

Nice video thank you for bring this equipment Tony attention... Soooo much competition in the sleeping pad industry.... best wishes Tom

Hello thank you for taking the time to show this tent.. A couple of things that I noticed.. The catenary cut on the fly is really high on the sidewall and at the back quarter of the tent. This exposes the inner to rain and wind.. On the Hilleberg 3 season tents the groundsheet is very high to protect the inner. This doesn't look to be the case here.... Personally I also dont like the angle of that rear pole... When the wind hits the rear of a tunnel tent then it pushes down on the top of the pole and obviously you cannot guy this to support it.. Its ok on a dome tent as you will have crossing poles to strengthen the roof.. The more you crank up the guys at the side then this makes it worse as pulling the pole out at the side flattens it at the top... The angle of the rear pole will allow the wind to really push down on the pole IMO.... as it's angled nearly parallel to the wind and not perpendicular..BUT I suppose it is a 3 season tent after all. Best wishes Tom

I want to see how that back pole handles 50mph, especially with the angle of the guy lines in relation to that posterior leaning back pole. Are the guylines coming off the back pole at a 90 degree angle? This is a really compelling tent, especially if you want to pair it with a tarp. You mention head space but not how tall you are. Thanks

Hi Will! Great video that gives a nice overview of the tent. Thanks for that. I was wondering if you had experience in more harsh weathers. As in how the tent holds up in heavy rain and whether the inner tent keeps dry. It seems that during the high wind situation in your video the outer tent does not completely cover the the inner tent especially in the middle of the tent. Also, you mentioned that the lack of ventilation pockets on top of the outer tent was a con side for you. Have you noticed the ventilation being poor inside, whilst sleeping or so? Thanks in advance. Great video!

The only video on nikwax in the rain. Well done :) Nikwax is fantastic for Dryrider motorcycle jackets too.

Fantastic camping video. Thanks for sharing. 👍25

How does it compare with hilleberg anja?

I came here for the dog.

Hi Will. Great to see you back. Missed your regular reviews. Looks interesting, but does it warrant such a high price tag.

Brillient video!

Don’t buy Rab products. I purchased an Axion Pro jacket, but it has been leaking since the beginning. They claim that down jackets will leak, but Rab’s leakage is excessive; every day I need to use a lint roller. Finally, I stopped using it and sent it for warranty, but they are suggesting that to resolve the issue, it needs to be washed several times, with each washing costing £25 plus courier charges. I would have to spend more money to fix the leaking. I recommend going for Columbia or North Face instead

Finally upgraded from Under Armour Newell ridge to these. 🤙

Is the stash gas can standard in the box?

my favorite 2 person tent is the 1 person tent.

He's nowhere near 5 ft 9! I'm 5 ft 10 and his head only comes up to my groin! (I'm not going to tell you how I know that)

Hi there, I don’t suppose you have a hard copy of the complete route, I’d like to do it myself but I’m not familiar with the trail?

How would it coop with some rain in the Netherlands?

Have you tried the KUIU Storm Star ?

My experience with NikWax: AWESOME!! I purchase it by the gallon ( $100 ). I use it religiously on my TrueWerk softshell work gear. I wash them every week. Add the waterproof in the rinse cycle. Pretty much waterproof because I seem seal the seems as well. I work as a longshoreman in Alaska. You think it rains in Oregon and Washington? Hahahah😂! Unlike my fellow workers, I can’t wear “waterproof “ gear, as I sweat like crazy in it. I hate being hot ( thanks to Iraq and Afghanistan). With this method, my T3 jacket lasts for 3 straight hours in constant rain , without me getting wet, but the jacket is soaked. We take a 20-30 minute break, my jackets is air dried in doors, and is ready for another 3 hours. I’m comfortable, not hot or cold and NOT SWEATING 👍. But understand- my job is greasy and grimy on a barge. Rust, dirt, grease, oil. My jacket is never cleaned well using just NikWax as a detergent agent. But I’m fine with that! So I am wondering how the Paramo will perform with a permanent stains of rust and grime? I plan on checking out their products. First I’ve heard of them. I’m excited.

Would they be too hot for summer ?

I’m having super bad luck I just get a replacement because the previous was now working properly Now I was so happy I got a new one , I waited a few hrs to connected again and I’m getting a warning a bad compressor. Very disappointed 😒

Gore Tex Pro and Pertex Shield - very good !

Thanks will have a look was looking at the keela pinnicale jacket but I find the dwr on keela pretty poor

Terrible review it's rubbish you get absolutely soaked in it from the rain what's wrong with just telling the truth especially when it can cost people alot of money

Channel intro is shorter than it takes me to move the mouse to skip it. Well played sir.

Have a Pair of AT1 GT boots been hillwalking climbing and treking for over 45 years and have always been a gear faffer only ever buying the best I can afford. Initially on reciept I felt the lace pressure I have always worn boots too tight to prevent heel lift. After 20 kms in the boots you realise the boots are snug without over tightening so problem solved There is possibly a fraction too much leather above the top lacing ring creating an awkward uneccesary corner. Future incarnations should perhaps streamline this. I have otherwise never worn a more comfortable pair of boots. Scotland in Summer no problem. I love them already just treat them with respect when you put them on. You do not need thick socks I went half a size up and the fit is perfect. They look cool and are cool. Recomended. I may put in a thicker Ironlace or try a flat pair. With the red insoles you are walking on air.

Its mad warm this jacket worn it in poland in winter and it was to warm 😅

Hi Will. Compare this 3L deep shell with the Ortovox Ortler at about $385 USD? I see the Ortler has just one chest pocket. Other comparison? Toughness with a pack? Appears made of same material? Same Marino wool liner? Sizing similar? Thanks!!! Mike in Los Angeles

I think of Paramo as a bit like a modern wax jacket. They're a bit warm and heavy for the type of fast hiking I like to do but the Halkon is my favourite outdoor jacket for all types of relaxed walking in Autumn and Winter. It's got a nice classic look, protects brilliantly from the elements and has a lot of useful pocket space. Unlike a wax jacket, it's easy to clean. If you're a GTX Pro fan who wants to drop many hundreds of £ on the latest jacket from deadbird then Paramo probably isn't for you. Even then, there's always room in the wardrobe for something less crinkly, stiff and more traditionally styled.

Really?Rab this rab that..hey i still think Patagonia is 100 times better😂

I've had a love / hate relationship with paramo since their humble beginnings. Too hot for Spring into summer, and I've found no matter what I do the light weight variants leak under sustained rain, (ciclo being one) so after the full circle of buy / sell I've moved back to pile and pertex- for winter teclite for sumner with a ventile shell, double layer for winter single with double on the shoulders for spring / summer. Works for me, it's puncture proof and Spark resistant.

What colour are you wearing in the video? The up close camera shots look orange where as the drone shots look red?

I wore Gore-Tex for 30 years and only had it leak after 5 years, on a ski jacket. I sent the jacket back to Gore-Tex quoting their lifetime guarantee and they sent me a new jacket, NO ARGUMENTS! After that I swore I would only use them, as most companies argue like mad to avoid paying out. Then 5 years ago I thought I would try Polartec Neoshell as it claimed it was waterproof and had superior breathability. The breathability was so much better than Gore-Tex, it was so noticeable straightaway and I thought I had finally found a better alternative at a slightly cheaper price. There was no water leakage and I always washed it with dedicated gore Tex cleaner and reproofed the outer with a ferrous coating of repellent and dried in the tumble dryer , before treating again and drying again. Then after about 2 years of regular use (no sports or skiing etc) I noticed I was getting wet on the inside, when it rained. There was no evidence of the membrane degrading and so I thought it was due to condensation. I then went out in a heavy rainfall a few months ago and noticed I was soaking wet inside I took off the jacket and was very disappointed to see soaking wet patches on the inside of the front, the hood and shoulder blade area. Initially I was excited to have found something “better” than gore-tex, but it was false hope. I have now just bought another gore-tex jacket, as I feel safer knowing it won’t leak, when most needed. Wish I could say I have found a cheaper alternative, but haven’t. I am tempted to try Patagonia H2NO but don’t want to waste another £300 and be let down.

Should test some microphones

Bomb proof? 🤨

If you do alpine climbing and stuff where your life depends on staying dry.. Gore-Tex is perfect. For the 95% is that walk in rain and hike in it twice a year.. H2NO, Futurelite, Dry.Q, etc.. they work more than well enough. My last Patagonia jacket lasted five years and I only upgraded it cause I’d lost a bunch of weight and it was huge. My current Slate Sky should last me a decade. Gore Tex does have an ePE option that’s not as toxic to the environment. I know the Triolet jacket uses it.. expensive stuff though.

I still have a hard time warming up to down. Very few inspire any confidence they'll hold up with regular use.

You know what? I'm seriously disappointed by this list. ANY down jacket sporting the now so often seen "fixed hood no collar" construction can be immediately written OFF my list. If you zip it up completely (which I ALWAYS do) without the hood on your head, that hood start to pull back, pulling the zipper to your throat - a VERY nasty feeling!! And... to be truly versatile, any down jacket should be WATERPROOF, and by that I mean really waterproof, with some kind of membrane in it. THAT will shift the maintream jackets from the truly, universally usable ones. The Arcteryx Camosun, the Patagonia Wanaka, the The North Face McMurdo, ANY Nobis down jacket or down parka(!) will do as they are ALL waterproof, and even the Dutch brand Gaastra came up with some really nice down jackets having a removable hood, a collar and some kind of waterproof fabric, not so strange, as their origin lies in sailing jackets. So, there you have it: 5 brands that make REALLY universally usable ones - and even with great comfort, as they ALL have a nice collar, and adaptable too, as the hood is removable.

Great info cheers
