OZtrail Starlight
absolutely poor design
Fully agree with Heidi, the OZtrail Starlight tent is unusable, even in drought stricken Queensland managed to get wet at night, fly touching the internal tent causes pooling of water at foot of tent. Took the issue to OZtrail to be told that it is normal to have condensation and I should expect it, but would not comment of encroachment of water into tent and onto sleeping bag. Obviously they not care about their design prowess or product quality, 50 years of camping in tents and I am told this is normal!!!! Will never purchase one of their products again, indescribably poor experience.

great value
I have used my Oztrail Starlight for several cycling tours, been through several tropical storms and down pours and stayed dry. Easy to set up and pack, lightweight and compact.

Great value and would buy it again

I thought I would take it camping anyhow and see how it went even though I was concerned it would leak. The first night I used it, we were camped in a rainforest and it drizzled a l...
