It only takes a week in the sun for the colour of the maui to fade. It happened to ours, it doesnt affect the waterproofing of the tent at all tho.

Thanks for replay. I am still thinking since Newgate 5 have also some advantages.
right now we are camping in Maui Reef 2011-2012 model and we found it much more cozy than our 100%poly cotton. So we are thinking to buy something similar.
Maui stock is really limited (hard to find in EU) where Newgate 5 price is 180 € lower than Maui 2013 model.
So hard to decide ... ;)
Take care
Sorry Im confused are you thinking of replacing your Maui with another one?
What is better about the newer version?
We have the Kauai Reef which has an integrated porch - this saves loads and loads of time compared to pitching a tent with a separate porch. For this reason Id be tempted by the newgate 5. Have you seen the newgate - what does the fabric feel like - does it feel similar to the Maui

And have I think better material ratio - more breathable and better regulator to temperature ... but this is also my question. I also think that material change is due to cost saving. Not having better performance.
Hi could be the changes were made for cost purposes but that the performance is not much different. Has anyone asked Outwell what the difference in performance is ??
