>>2799063Over the years I've bought 2 Ionospheres, a Scorpion 3 and also a Softie 9 Hawk sleeping bag from them. They should sponsor me.
Snugpak Ionosphere is a solid tent. I got mine second hand for less than £100 each. At 1.5kg they're close to ultralight but the main features I would say are the durability and stealth. For a hooped bivvy they're pretty spacious too.
The main detractor for me is having to put the inner up first and then the outer sheet over the top. It's easy to set up but rain can get in while setting the inner up before the outer sheet.
I just bought a Terra Nova Laser Compact 1 to reduce weight by 500g, reduce pack size, increase head space, but mainly because the inner and outer can be pitched together. Terra Nova Laser Compact 1 is about 4x the price of Snugpak Ionosphere though.
