O wise and ever present PW.

I need a new tent. My old tent is 10years old, now absorbs water from precipitation.

My criteria is minimum 2person. With porch / storage / rain cover.

Ideally under a ton fifty

Vango Tempest Pro 300.

Alloy poles so much more resilient to high winds, porch space, 3 person sleeping area and not too weighty. For a tent to be classed as waterproof, it needs to have a minimum hydrostatic head of 1000mm. most decent ones are 2000+. The Vango Tempest Pro is 5000mm.

This looks like a pretty decent deal:

Not walking with tent.

Probably re sealing will work. But new tent is a new tent.

Khyam biker plus. We’ve just bought one. 2 1/2 person, with a porch. 

It is laughably easy to erect, spacious and excellent quality.

I’m replacing a Khyam Brecon that I bought in 1997 - ONLY because we need fractionally more space. That Brecon is still perfectly serviceable, and not one of the self-erecting joints is damaged after 20 years of use. 

I wouldn't buy anything else if it’s a tent I don’t  have to carry (it’s not light - but, having said that, I did do three days hiking in Norway carrying the Brecon in 2002, so it can be done).
