Help! the name of the tent is......?

Somewhere in this vast forum pool of knowledge some wise and probably handsome/beautiful person said that XXXXXXtents are outstanding and he/she has used them. I found an ad for them once. Lost it. Old age. Now I can't remember the name. It is black and orange, sort of igloo shaped, tall, enough for a short person to stand erect, and ta da! starts with an H. Hoggie, HHaggi, Hodge, something like that. I need to find it, order it and have it delivered before June, 2007. We are getting closer to RTW all the time. Now if some publisher who has been hitting the sauce a bit would buy my great american novel, we could quit work and go.

I have looked in Cabela, REI, Pitman's, G.I. Joe and anywhere else that has an online catalog. No tent with an H.

thanks in advance for giving me a good night sleep when you tell me it is__________

Ps!
The Helsport "Lavvulight" seems interesting to me:

Tents

As said above Hillenburg is probably the one. Outstanding quality. Some others you may want to check out are MSR, Bibler, Mountain Hardwear and The north Face.

Unhappy Guess I just have to give up

I have been on every site I can find and cannot find the tent again. Eventually I will, but it will be just a matter of luck. It was posted here by a rider who had one (female) advising a friend that she had good luck with it, and she posted a photo. can't find it.

thanks to everyone for the efforts though.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
