A little annoying that Go-lite don't sell the outer now on it's own as the Oookworks option would be a reasonable add on cost.markswalkingbloghttp://markswalkingblog.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063908328061898266.post-74685410510312935912014-01-01T16:30:31.857+00:002014-01-01T16:30:31.857+00:00I only use the inner Nest for car camping, which m...I only use the inner Nest for car camping, which means very rarely. I find the combination too heavy for backpacking and, as you say, there's no porch. If I wanted a Nest for backpacking I'd get the Oookworks one which fits in half the SL3. As it is I only use the SL3 for wild camping outside of midge season.Chris Townsendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04282926597863688874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063908328061898266.post-74818236292812502282014-01-01T13:24:45.177+00:002014-01-01T13:24:45.177+00:00Thanks for the short review Chris.

The only piece of kit that I have is the Rab Myriad and agree that it is a excellent hardshell, with the best hood I had worn other than the one on my Paramo 3rd Element jacket. Still can't decide whether to purchase the Shangri-La 3 (or the Wiki-up 3) Lots of good plus points. Only issue I have is when using the tent with the inner nest, how to cook in markswalkingbloghttp://markswalkingblog.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
