Great purchase
Brought this for shade/undercover shelter for when I go camping. A little tricky to set up on your own, any tips feel free to comment. Very compact. I brought two adjustable poles. Great product!
Compact
I was looking for a compact shade to fit in my small car with other camping gear, this shade worked well for us .
Also I found and ordered this hiker fly just 3 days before camping, it arrivedvthe day before I left.
Thank you so much for the great service.
Very good
I am very pleased with this. It is very good in the wind and rain. Will buy again
Surprisingly robust
Had this over my double swag. Stops you getting rained on when getting out of the swag in the morning. Handles the wind without drama. Fits nicely in the swag bag. Thanks Snowys for the incredibly fast delivery to Tas.
easy fast simple
received this literally the day after i ordered it and i didnt order till like 3-4 in the arvo so thanks for sorting it out so quickly Snowys! bought a few things now and can't fault the service!
this thing packs up nice and small. for the compact size it provides a good shaded area which is well worth the added size/weight
that being said its super light, and could go even lighter with some alloy pegs like the sea to summit ones!
guy lines all came attached and ready to rock n roll so setting up was a breeze. i used two awning poles but will be interested to see how hiking poles go with it (when i get some).
hiker fly
I bought this to team up with a Zempire Atom from snowys as well. it works perfectly with a camping mat to create a great little camping spot. Cheers guys.
Good product
Used this on a recent week-long hike. Pitched over a two person hiking tent as an awning, it worked extremely well. Held off very heavy rain without a problem and was sound in the wind too. We'd have been confined to the bloody tent for hours without it. It made our hike, this bit of kit!
Cheap but light and highly flexible in terms of its usage. I'd recommend it.
Oztrail hiker fly tent
Great service, came very quickly & the product did the job without any complications
Top quality
Light, compact, good quality. Water-repellent - held off heavy alpine rain. The curved sides made a tight tarp structure with only two poles + guy ropes. Decent steel pegs included. Also has flexible usage - worked well as a cover between a canvas single-pole tent and a gazebo.
Compact & light
Good for bike camping. Well priced and good quality.
Setting up one person1 answer
can you do a video of how you manage to set this up on your own?
G'day Jade,
I'll pass this request on to our videographer for you, no promises but we'll see what we can do. It sounds perfect because there's normally only one of us free to shoot the videos!
What's the weight without the pegs? 1 answer
I intend to replace the pegs with better, lighter pegs.
G'day Tim,
We're currently out of stock of the OZtrail Hiker Fly, so I gave OZtrail a buzz to see if they could help me out. Murphy's Law, they're also out of stock but they did say that at an estimate, the pegs would weigh around the 100g mark. Sorry that I couldn't be any more detailed than that.
I would like to use this hiker fly on top of a Malamoo 3 tent? I wonder if it's a good idea?1 answer
G'day William,
It's a great idea to use the Oztrail Hiker Fly over the top of your Malamoo Tent. It will add some extra protection from the sun and rain for you.
Festival tent1 answer
Would this be suitable to use over the OZtrail festival 2 tent. If so which poles would you recommend? Thanks
G'day Beate,
You'll have no issues at all using the Oztrail Hiker Fly over the top of your Oztrail Festival 2 Tent. As for which poles you should use. I would probably recommend you go for the Oztent Alloy Poles.
extra guy line1 answer
this might be a stupid question but... my tarp came with a guy line like right in the middle of the fly on the outside. so smack bang in the middle of your two poles. where are you supposed to attach this to? only thing i can think of would be like up over a tree branch or something?
G'day Kieran,
Not a stupid question at all mate! You're bang on the money too, the Oztrail Hiker Fly tends to sag in the middle a little, so the guy rope in the middle can be used to hang over a branch or similar to keep it from sagging.
Could this double as a ground sheet?1 answer
Hi there, im looking at getting a black wolf ul mantis; could this double as a ground sheet? Thanks Glen
G'day Glen,
You could use the Oztrail Hiker Fly as a lightweight groundsheet, as it will provide a bit of moisture protection and would be a good option if you need to keep the weight down in your pack.
Just bear in mind that it's not going to be as effective as a heavy duty plastic or mesh, so you might want to be extra careful when clearing the ground under your tent from any debris.
Weight1 answer
Hi there, does the specified weight include guy lines and pegs (i.e. full weight required to use the fly)? Thanks.
Iis this water proof please?1 answer
Why is this advertised as 3.5 x 2.5 when it measures 3.4metres x 2.1metres. That's a big difference.1 answer
