I have a Khufu with 2/3 mesh inner, which worked out pretty nicely on the Cape Wrath Trail this year, with three caveats:
- I really can’t stand the silnylon sag.
- The weather wasn’t great, and I would like a semi-solid nest
- Just a tad longer would be great, but not essential.
Now, I can solve 1) and possibly 3) with a Duomid in silpoly; BUT no semi-solid nest, unless I source something third-party.
For 2), LocusGear do a fantastic range, something for every situation, but they only have silnylon for the tarp (I’m not keen on DCF). The also do a Khufu Grande – if they did silpoly I would bite their hand off!
I could also go to a Pyraomm Duo (Liteway) in silpoly or ultra, but again no semi-solid nest.
So the options I can figure are:
- Grab a Pyraomm Duo, being almost identical in size to the Khufu, and grab a Khufu semi-solid nest. I can also use my existing mesh next with this.
- Grab a Duomid and source a 3rd party nest, but since ookworks disappeared I can’t see any.
Anyone got any ideas?
