Mont Krypton, by Richard
Last summer I borrowed the new Mont Krypton tent that we have available in hire, and spent a few days walking and fishing on the Tooma River in Kosciuszko National Park. The Krypton is designed so you can set up the outer on its own in a lightweight configuration, or as many prefer, with the roomy inner. A unique design feature is the sewn-in footprint which is attached to the fly, protecting the inner tent. As it was summer, I opted for the outer-fly-only setup. This allowed for good flow-through ventilation on what was a very hot series of days. This weather also meant that thunderstorms rolled through in the evenings, giving way to a cool mountain night. The outer alone kept me dry! When combined wth the inner, this would doubtless be a roomy 2 person tent, with 2 spacious vestibules. Dual entrances would give access, and the extra value of the sewn-in footprint will prove a popular design feature for the Mont Krypton.
