I've posted in the Tassie section about broader gear choices for an upcoming Western Arthurs trip, but thought I'd try here in the hope of input from experienced Triplex users.
Looks like two of us will be going on the walk. We'd prefer separate tents. Between us we own a Triplex (around 750gm, a Tarptent Stratospire 2 (around 1400gm) , an X-Mid 1P (around 900gm). (Oh, and a Mont Moondance but that's small and heavy!). I feel that the Triplex is the least stormworthy of these tents, and therefore wonder if it should be left out.
Lightest weight option would be sharing the Triplex, but then we have to share, and doubts about stormworthiness. Second lightest would be the Triplex and the X-mid. 1 person gets a palace, the other not, but option to share if no space on platforms. Still doubts about the Triplex but at least there's another tent (yes, it would be a squeeze but could serve in an emergency). Other option is to share the Stratospire, which has plenty of space for 2 and I think is up to the weather, albeit at a weight penalty.
I gather that most campsites are reasonably sheltered but High Moor is exposed and subject to high winds.
Interested in any thoughts on this from those who know the tents and/or the conditions.
