We have been camping for as long as we can remember. Hence weve got quite a lot of experience in pitching tents. Weve pitched dome tents, A- frame tents and canvas tents from a lot of different brands but I have never pitched a tent so easily as the Weka 3 hiker tent. I honestly believe its the best within its category. Weve used it every time we did a multiday walk and its so light you wont even know its in your backpack. Just 2,9 kgs for a tent that sleeps 3 is incredibly light. Now youre thinking: If its just Lio and Jan, why do they need a three- person tent? Its because the extra space comes in handy when youve got two large packs to store. There is room for it in the two vestibules, but we just prefer to keep them dry. The first time we used it, we didnt take the bag. When we were about to pitch it, we realized the bag had all the instructions on it. It didnt prove to be a problem as the whole thing speaks for itself. Everything is colour coded and its not exactly rocket science either. The inner tent is attached to the poles with clip-ons so you dont have to slide the poles through a narrow sleeve with the risk of poking holes in it. It probably only took us about 5 minutes from start to finish. The tent has two entrances and two awnings so you can come and go regardless of the weather direction. The thing I liked most about this tent is that you can attach the poles to the fly as well. Its always so difficult pitching a tent where the seams of the fly are exactly on top of the poles. With this design its possible and very easy. An honest review will tell people about both the good and the bad stuff of a product. Ive been thinking long and hard about any negative aspect of this tent but I cant think of one. This is exactly what Im looking for in a tent. Its light, spacious, easy to pitch, has a cool design and so on. If I could only have one product from the Kiwi Camping range, I would go for the Weka 3 hiker tent! Before we forget, it folds up pretty small as well. Kind of the size of a real weka. See for yourself. ;-)

Extreme Gail force winds torrential rain. 5 days of pelting, couldnt believe the tent survived . 100% waterproof. Great product. Great tent

A well built and sturdy tent for a very affordable price! We are very happy with it. The little extras like the clip on fly and numerous internal pockets make life a lot easier. The 3 pole system makes for a very roomy and robust design. Only downside is that all up it weighs a little more than advertised (ours weighed in at 3.5kg, all things included). The plus side of this though is that the materials should last a long time, they feel tough and of good quality. All in all, highly recommended.

I'm so pleased I chose the weka3, this tent is awesome and has all the features of a tent twice the price. Good work Kiwi Camping!

What an amazing little tent. We bought it for our 3 girls (10-16 years) for the Whanganui River journey. It survived several wet nights, dried out quickly in sub -optimal conditions, packed up easily and was compact. However this tent was truly put through tbe most extreme of tests whilst camping at Camp Adair when the 1 in 100 year flood came through. It poured (3 months rain in 12 hours), but tent did not leak. I had to abandon the tent when river started flowing through mesh door. We were evacuated when water was above height of tent. I didn't expect to see it again. But I returned the next day to find tent in tact, but very muddy. Incredible!Sadly I think the inches of mud inside may mean tent unsalvagable. I cannot rave more highly about this tent. Tough little tent for a highly competitive price. Well done kiwi camping. I'll be buying a replacement.
