Mont is an independent Australian adventure equipment and
company fiercely committed to better gear for the wild.
After years of frustrations with the poor quality of adventure clothing and equipment available, Monty had enough and made something better, something he could rely on. In 1978, using a borrowed sewing machine, he made himself a sleeping bag, down jacket and tent. A reputation for quality gear quickly spread and in 1981 Mont Adventure Equipment was founded.
As passionate and experienced adventurers, Mont Staff can offer sound and honest advice on the best gear for almost adventure. We know the gear because we've used it.
Get expert gear advice for mountaineering, backcountry, all forms of climbing, multi-day and long distance walks, rope access and height safety, boot fitting, ski boot fitting, bike packing, trail running and more.

Choosing a new tent is one of those moments that calls for serious research. It's a big decision, and a potentially risky one, if you get it wrong you may have to live with the consequences for a long time. I live in Tasmania and love exploring wilderness Alpine regions, especially winter camping.
So, my non-negotiables in a tent are it being waterproof, that's #1, then weight and space. Ok, looks play a part, but they are a bonus :)
