Sell me your set up then
Can someone post the link to that tent on EBay (i can't find it...)
A bit strange that the fabric is called Kerlon 1800 because Kerlon is the brand name Hilleberg gives to the silnylon they use.
The factory that makes that fabric (in South Korea) does sell something like that (or very similar...) but as far as I know they don't call it Kerlon.
My quest for a winter tent has led me to the purchase of the below, off Ebay.
It is a Mountain Equipment Manta 1 - some may have seen it on Ebay last week/this week.
What I know about it -
It is about 1500 g with snow pegs, curved end poles and main pole.
Kerlon 1800 fly material
That it was made as a prototype that became too expensive to go into production. This may be why there is very little on the internet about it or my searches are wrongly worded.
Never seen one before but I felt there were weight reductions that could be made, it is definitely a winter tent, a reasonable price @ £175.00.
The seller couldn't tell me much about it other than that it was bought for a trip and has had virtually no use at all. Bought from where I have no idea.
Mountain Equipment were emailed yesterday for any info they had on it but wondered if the collective know anything about this tent?
What are peoples thoughts on it's design, pluses and negatives?
It's arriving early next week so other than a couple more pictures that's all I know.
