Yep, their whole range is great. The Scarp/Hogback design has a lot going for it. Integral pitch, dry entry. Can convert the scarp to freestanding with a couple of extra poles. Scarp has a summer and winter inner option. The hogback has the option for one extra crossing pole to help a bit with stability or light snow loading.

You can pay a bit extra for them to do the seam sealing. I think Australian orders are done by Franco (from the bushwalking aus forums) in Adelaide. He also provides a great point for local support and knowledge of the brand. I did the sealing on mine and it seems to be holding out fine.
