OZtrail Vertex 3 Hiking Tent

G'day Nermin,

The Fortress 2P is a high-end hiking tent that will be suited to winter camping and hiking. It has a full nylon inner so will keep you warm even on cold Victorian winter nights. It is also approximately 500g lighter than the Vertex 3 model. The Vertex 3 is a mid-range hiking tent that has a partial mesh, partial nylon inner so will be slightly cooler during winter. The Roman Escape 3 is no longer available and is a general fair weather camping tent.

G'day Tristan,

OZtrail is a registered trademark of Adventure Trading Australia Pty Ltd.  As far as we are aware and given their vast product range, they use a variety of manufacturers.  You might be best off contacting them directly for more information on country(ies) of manufacture.  Cheers mate :)

G'day Chris,

Most tents would struggle to stand up to that sort of wind unless pegged out well with plenty of guy ropes. If you were to put plenty of ropes on your Oztrail Vertex 3 Hiking Tent, then I would be relatively confident of it holding up in 70km/h winds. 

G'day John,

Both tents would be a great choice, I measured the height of the head clearance for both and you won't have any issues sitting in either of them (I'm also 6 foot tall). Weatherproofing isn't an issue for either of these tents either, even though one is slightly lower than the other, both will keep you dry in most downpours. Given it's a little wider, I would probably suggest the Spartan, although you'd be equally as happy with the Oztrail Vertex 3 Hiking Tent.
