Saga

Very good, high quality tent, small stuffsacks

Hello TFS team My ‘Saga’ has arrived and I’m really pleased with it. I have a few thoughts on it: I find the stuff sacks a bit small. The stuff sack for the poles is also a bit sticky (PU) on the inside. Packing the tent away in bad weather is a bit of a struggle, especially with the groundsheet. The tent’s stuff sack has compression straps. These make packing difficult. Perhaps they should have buckles or be longer. Fjällräven uses a “V”-shaped collar on its stuff sack. This makes packing very easy. I’ve sealed my tent from the inside. Hanging it upside down from two lines. I swapped the lines for two separate ones. At the very least, each line should have a tensioner. 12 Easton Nano pegs weigh almost as much as the two heavy pegs. I recommend switching to the 20 cm V-Pegs from DAC. Does the elastic hood prove its worth? I would change the crossbar on the frame to 10.25 mm. Then, in the event of an accident, you would have a spare part for the main frame and could still support the vestibules with (trekking) poles. In my opinion its a real 4-Season tent. Well ventilated in warm days, strong in cold, windy days. I don´t heve to deal with snowdrift. So, for me it seems perfect. Top! I weighted 2303 grams (Inner, outer, poles, excl. Stakes) für the standard 30d/red with 2P-inner.
