Great Tent

Very well designed tent. Mine was missing a small part on the fly but this issue was sorted very quickly and was really appreciated. Looking forward to using it on a bucket list bike trip across the country.

Explore 2 Ultralight Hiking Tent V2

Very prompt delivery and Dwight's outdoors good to deal with. With it being winter I haven't used it yet will patiently wait till the summer. Have had a good look at it indoors and quiet happy with it. Being 10,000 mm hydrostatic head rain resistant and priced at $399.00 on sale hopefully represents good value and should be a good all round tent suitable for backpacking and normal camping.
