> Macpac Olympus and Minaret are decent tunnel style alternatives, cheaper than Hilleberg but not as good or as light, size for size.
Interesting. So, in my neck of the woods Macpac tents are quite expensive at their regular prices. Hilleberg is unheard of, and buying them is done through hilleberg.com.
Translating everything to GBP and arbitrarily guessing 55USD additional for an international courier for the Hilleberg...
Buying a Macpac Olympus at regular retail prices would be around 500.
Buying a Hilleberg Kaitum 2 (looks to be a similar design, though lighter) with postage would be around 540.
Bombproof 2 man tent wise...
Buying a Macpac Plateau would be around 610.
Buying a Hilleberg Tarra would be around 615.
Having said that theres a 30% off mountain tents sale at the regional Macpac site here. Hilleberg, on the other hand, I've never seen on sale.
