We often get asked what tent you should start with when you first get into camping as a single camper and/or small group. So we've decided to compare our Kiwi Camping Weka 3 Hiker Tent and Kiwi Camping Morepork 1 Single Swag.
These tents are similar in size but very different, but they work well for different kinds of camping adventures and purposes. So, how do they compare, and why would you opt for one over the other? Let us explain below!
Weka Features
The Weka 3 features a practical vestibule that allows for convenient storage of camping and hiking equipment, such as wet weather gear and boots. This enables you to maximize the space inside the tent and keep your belongings organized.
Compared to the Morepork, the Weka 3 offers more internal room, providing a less claustrophobic sleeping experience. Additionally, the tent is equipped with bug-proof mesh, making it suitable for camping in areas of New Zealand where bugs and mosquitoes are prevalent.
For a complete camping setup, our Rover Lite Self-inflating 3cm Mattresses complement the Weka tent perfectly. These mattresses not only provide extra comfort but also offer insulation for colder adventures, ensuring a cozy and enjoyable sleeping experience.
Morepork Single Swag Features
The Morepork Single Swag is made with strong 320g polycotton ripstop walls and a heavy-duty 400g PVC floor. Its convenient entrance unzips, allowing easy access and the ability to flip it back.
Inside the swag, there's storage space by your feet, and a comfortable mattress is included. While it may not suit those who feel claustrophobic, it offers a snug and authentic experience, perfect for sleeping under the stars or connecting with nature.
You can pitch the Morepork Swag on the ground or on a stretcher. For touring adventures, it pairs well with the Tuatara 270-Degree 2M Awning, providing dry shelter.
