Cheers for suggestions
would have doubts on robustness of Lanshan in scottish "breezy" wet conditions, especially with a down sleeping bag
and walking pole option no good for my preferred wild base camps, where head up into hills during the day and returning to camp, (i do use 2 pacer poles, so weird handles)
i can get a 10% discount so Sea to Summit Alto TR plus would be around £400,
but price not main issue as happy to pay around this for something that hits the spot.
I know a lot of tent aficionados will often have a cupboard of options, but i'm trying to find one that will survive proper shoulder seasons and provide roomy shelter when nature challenging us, but i can carry comfortably for extended hill treks.
Not bought a serious new tent for a long time, my wild county Mistral was bought off ebay from Tent fan with a cupboard full. Other tent i have is a very lightweight single skin one bought in France during WC98 that is a condensation trap that doesn't like wind - so hopeless for hills but light and did use for WHW. Oh also do have a Vango family tent with 2 sleeping compartments that we can stand up in, so even i have 3 already...
what is the answer to how many tents do you need, answer always +1 (cyclists have similar story re bikes)
I was more wondering on what folk thought of these new tents offerings from Sea to Summit?
https://www.seatosummit.co.uk/products/tents/alto-tr2-plus/any obvious design flaws for our spring / autumn conditions, something i am missing as new to evaluating the myriad of options out there.
We all have slightly differing requirements so realise compromise is usually required to some degree.
Quality, lightweight (<1.5kg), 2 person, 2 doors, decent vestibules, roomy interior, decent head height, cope with wind/rain, storage options, happy to spend lots time in if needed or decide to just chill out, anything else would be a bonus.
cheers folks
