@@Fellmandave1 funnily enough I picked one up ( to look at ...not to buy ) in Decathlon on Saturday. Too heavy for me, I have a 2 kilo rule, if i can't shift the weight off my stomach it has to be saved off the kit instead :-)
Haha. A decathlon with Simond tents in! Fantastic! I have always thought your tum was most discrete Andrew. I don't mind too much the weight, havkng said that for solo I stick to sub 2.5, it's just the head height. I think it's the best looking tent I have ever had though.
Pefect video. Thank you very much for it. Please how looks original tent pegs ? Are they common ones ? Or stronger stakes, ones you used on the video ??
Hello Adam, the silver stakes that appear in the video are V pegs and the ones that cam with the tent. they are pretty good and very similar to the pegs that come with Hilleberg tents. thanks for commenting.
It's a good question. The Makalu is a great tent and excellent value. But its heavier and the worst thing is the height inside. Really low at the door, So it stops me using it much.
You should be ok to sit inside. I have raised the height of the inner tent by shortening the inner suspension points, so slightly improved by about 3cm. I did this just by threading the toggle back through the loop 3 times.
Hi Anil, the stormiest conditions Ihave used it on are as shown. Check the further reviews on decathlon. Plus have a look at Salazar on k2. For 1 night the makalu alpine tent is good. Have a look at Andrew Parks reviews
@@Fellmandave1 Спасибо, самое главное как зарекомендовала себя и посоветовали бы к эксплуатации ? ( интересует для горной охоты ) И второе, эта модель почему то, уже не продаётся в Decathlone ?!

@@Fellmandave1 second to the Kuiu though, that is tent porn :-)
Good review. Certainly a prospect worth considering for the price!
Definitely!
Great review! 🙌
Thanks Rikard.

How does it compare to the nortent vern 1 ?
It's a good question. The Makalu is a great tent and excellent value. But its heavier and the worst thing is the height inside. Really low at the door, So it stops me using it much.
I am 5.9". Will I seat inside? But overall I like this tent. Not very heavy for a 4 seasons tent in fact.
You should be ok to sit inside. I have raised the height of the inner tent by shortening the inner suspension points, so slightly improved by about 3cm. I did this just by threading the toggle back through the loop 3 times.
Keep the camera still, then there is more movement when you take over. 🤣🤣🤣
Looked like a great time out in typical uk camping weather. 👍
Fair point. General message- kids, be better than me!
Hi and thanks for reviev. I'm thinking about buy this tent for 1 or 2 night alpine climbs. Do you think that tent can handle more extreme situations?

Hello. Another question about the Makalu T-2 tent - how comfortable will it be for two adults with two backpacks?
Hello. It would be fine for sleeping. But moving about and dressing will take much consideration. The measurements on decathlon will help.
Hi ! Is the rainfly 20d or 40d nylon?
Sorry Javier, dont know for sure, but my bet would be 40d. All the weight is in the valence or snow skirt, which could be 70D.
hello. please tell me, what impressions did you get from using the down jacket "Makalu 2"?
It is absolutely fantastic. Really soft and warm. Can't wait for winter.
@@Fellmandave1 thank you
