Great video from Tom's as always.

Excellent, comprehensive review :)

[@tomsoutdoorsgearguide]

Thank you kindly!

Are there loops on the inside of the fly to mount lights, etc?

[@tomsoutdoorsgearguide]

There is a loop at the top to hang a headlamp or light!

Looks like a great tent for bike packing...but not in yellow. How about a colour that blends in?

[@ShepdogMatt]

Quite deceptive advertising on the Mont site. The tent fly is only 595gm. To have a tent with the inner means over 1kg. Even with the one person setup!

[@tomsoutdoorsgearguide]

Most companies do tend to present their pyramid tent specs in this way.

[@martyn_g]

Not really. I found it quite clear.

[@DroidHDAL-n2c]

Just looks like a copy of a One Planet midable range!?

[@The_Tradie_Trainer]

Kinda salty they’ve released this as now I have to decide between it and a Moondance 😂

[@tomsoutdoorsgearguide]

Two very good options! Don't hesitate to call or email the store if you need a hand deciding!

Fits a good niche in the market. Not many decent Mids that aren't DCF. Such a shame it is nylon though (sil/pu too) as it'll likely sag a stack when it absorbs water. Would have been great if it was sil-poly. I've got nothing against sil-nylon, my nylon Tarptent Double Rainbow is awesome, but it's not a great fabric for these trekking pole/tension tents IMO. Shame

20% bigger packed than a Nalgene bottle? Looks more like almost twice the diameter and a bit longer. Even the Mont web site states "compressed dimensions" 19x28cm which according to google is more like eight liters and not one (assuming it's close to a cylinder in shape). But you could measure yourself. Anyway, look like a nice tent, but you get a lot of pressure on the floor where the pole sits. I've used a pyramid tent for many years and often put a sit pad under the pole to distribute the weight more. What I'd like to see is a floor with a hole for the pole and a way to fasten the floor material to the pole maybe 5cm off the ground, but never seen anyone do this so far. Same at the top btw. You get a lot of pressure there too. My pyramid tent actually have hole at the top where the tip of the pole protrude from a small metal ring. That would work well with a hiking pole setup too and avoid too much pressure directly on the fabric. You'd think a hole would let water, but I've spend a lot of rainy nights without that happening.

You can buy much better American-made gear for the prices Mont ask. They're a typical price-gouging Australian brand that gets their gear made in China just like almost every other brand. Oh, and that packed-up outer isn't 20% bigger than your Nalgene bottle, it takes up about 3-4x the cubic area (take your pick between metric and imperial)...

I'm curious as to what cheaper alternatives for this product you're referring to? This is effectively a nylon Hyperlite UltaMid, for half the cost. It's more expensive than a MSR Front Range or Big Agnes Gold Camp, but weighs less. I agree Mont tends to be expensive but I think this product fills a niche.
