With it's own stakes, cordage and decent stow pouch, the Kereru stacks up against the competition for value. The webbing ridgeline means you can tie off at the end loops without the risk of rain running in on a traditional rope ridgeline. The edges are fully reinforced with webbing, and the loops are firmly sewn on. It's weighty, but the quality more than justifies it. Where it can be a let down is insufficient tie down loops, particularly along the ridgeline. Confusing corner loops instead of a singular loop at 45. This arrangement has caused one loop to pull off, as it can be difficult to tension the fly properly without using them both. That being said, Kiwi camping gear to me has has always been the best quality for the budget conscious, and the Kereru is no exception.

This was actually bigger than I thought. Does need a good area of space to set up in. Ample amount of ropes and quite long if your trees are wide spread. These pegs are great and stay firmly in the ground even with a bit of wind about. Used close to the ground pegged in like a tent and also off the ground as a shelter. Both worked well for me. I didn't use both loops on the corners as I got my angle right I thought. Did think it was a bit weird having 2 loops on each corner. Kept myself and my gears dry with the rain overhead during the day and night. Cover dried quickly by shaking off excess water so it stowed away in its bag then into my pack. I did put pegs in my hiking sock when putting into my pack to prevent any holes been poked into my gear. Has been in full use since been purchased??
