Hi
I've read most of the threads relating to Shangri-La and I really do like the whole concept of it. However as it will be for 2 (one being my 7 year old) I'll be bearing the whole load including the nest.
I know I can find a lighter alternative than the supplied centre pole, but as I don't use a trekking pole this is also added weight.
The Hilleberg Nallo 2 has a vestibule and actually weighs less than Shangri-La 3/Nest/pole combination. It also is a very fine 4 season tent.
I much prefer sleeping with both of our heads to the door.
I really want the Shangri-La to work, but I'm finding it difficult to substantiate it over the Nallo. Without the abilty to find a lighter nest and a lighter centre pole it just doesn't make sense. I fully understand the centre pole issue is easily solved, but a trekking pole is not my first choice here.
