Instant Tents

Rob,

I have had mine for over 3 years and I have camped in all conditions including sleet near Lithgow. Its a 2 man but relly only good for 1 person.

I use it for single night stays and I do not always peg it down (unless it is very windy).

Just flip, open and put in the mattress, bedding and clothes bag and I'm done.

There is no wear on the and looks as good as new.
Any more than one night I do put a tarp over it. Any longer I have a larger tent.

Pro's
Quick - up and down
Easy comfortable
Waterproof
Packs small
Better and easier than a swag.

Con's
A little small for long stays - requires a tarp or shelter to give room.
Can be a little cold in low temperature due to in built fly and light weight fabric.

For me when solo its an ideal tent. 9 out of 10

G'Day Rob,
I also have an old OZ Tent about 15 yrs old and still going strong. My Daughter wanted a tent so rather than get a toy one I got one that I may want to use. Got the 2 man Malamoo and she had 4 friends for a birthday camping trip, long weekend. Well both tents were put up and it rained for nearly 3 days, very heavy at some times, neither tent leaked and all was good. I was originally told about these tents being used by the army overseas. Friend has one and says it has withstood extreme wind and rain.

My mate had the EPE and I then bought the Mallamoo both in the large size,my mate has since bought the Mallamoo after seeing mine and likes it better, the Mallamoo has a little vestibule to keep your shoes under cover at night and ventilate a bit better.
I leave my Blackwolf at home now as we mainly only do 1 night stays when on the road and these are so much quicker and lighter, 3 odd kilos instead of 20 odd.
We have experienced a heavy downpour when in central Australia and all bedding was kept dry although I carry a tarp as a backup incase whe get caught in relentless rain

We go away for 3 to 4 weeks at a time and are confident with them and a tarp as additional backup if needed


Would not hesitate to recommend if the size suits you

just had look at the videos of the ep tent and the malamoo..........what brilliant ideas if ya travel light and ya arrive in dark.............

Thank you to everyone who has replied. Your feedback is most helpful.

We've got one of the Speedy 2 man tents, and used it in Bendigo at the weekend. It was our first chance to test it in the rain, and it stood up well. I felt a couple of drips in the morning, but suspect more likely a bit of condensation on the internal roof, rather than anything leaking through. We found it warm, but a but small for two of us. I gather they now make a three man version which we'll look into.

I cant recommend it highly enough for convenience and speed when you're making those one night stops.

Hi,

We have 2 0f the Malamoos which we bought after watching, speaking etc with other owners. Perfect for the overnight stay, or longer trips where you are moving everyday, or where weight is an issue. We have a Foxwing to put over them in need.

We had rain on them last weekend without an issue, and have seem them in 70klm winds with no adverse effects.

Regards,

Michael

For longer says, we use the Blackwolf Turbo.
