3 season or 4 season

I want to buy a new tent and am keen on the Mont Moondance. My question is in Tassie am I better off buying the 4 season?

I have a couple of friends with Moondances. It was the wind (change in direction and strength) that got them. It didn't shred the tents, but they described uncomfortable nights hanging onto poles and having the tent bop around the place, while I was snug and comfy in my Akto.ILUVSWTAS wrote:I have a moondance. It's excellent. Haven't been lucky to use it (at all really) in fun weather but it's as sturdy as any tent I've had. Know a couple of people with them that use them year round without complaint. Unless your going to be doing full on snow trips I can't see any issues.

*Sigh* Pretty hard to beat those high camps - in good weather.Azza wrote:If its perched on the summit of a mountain exposed to all and sundry or you want peice of mind - you probably want the 4 season.
