For some positive thoughts about:
Shug's Ol' Henry Shires Contrail TarpTent
In the Antipodes, the Protrail gets some negative press for being great in summer but too cool for the other seasons.
A shame as it can pack very small and was very interesting to bike packers in this neck of the woods.
It seems anecdotally that the Double Rainbow gets over all the best press by trail walkers and bike packers hereabouts when it comes to discussing Tarptent products.
I was initially keen on the Protrail as a potential upgrade to my Macpac Microlite but hearing the word "drafty" bandied about put me off.
