Value for money Darryll Zwiers
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 45Β°. 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.
