It goes for R599 and was wondering if rather go to CUM and buy the K-Way Apline Cowl for R450? R P seem to be getting better and better stuff but I don't feel like getting caught in the cold with a dodgy bag.

We need someone to try these products out and I would be highly tested but for its weight and price at R2299 it is very expensive for a tent that may not even last one night.
Thoughts please

I'd be careful...Ive seen too many low end tents give it in one way or the other. And at that price I wouldn’t gamble. If they give it to you for testing, then maybe. I still have my doubts though.
