Backpacking tent advice please?

Backpacking tent advice please?


Postby angelnsharkman » Mon May 02, 2022 1:19 pm

Hi. I am looking for a new backpacking tent. I don’t have lots of money to spend which makes it difficult when trying to get lightweight and high waterproofing.

I have narrowed it down to two and I wonder if anyone has used these tents and has some feedback please?

Please note I am not intending to do any winter backpacking on mountains so only need 3 season

1) sea to summit Alto 2
2) Ferrino Ibex 2

Thank you

I have the sea to summit TR2 plus - used solo with my Westie and also accommodated my teenage son

excellent lightweight tent - would recommend the plus variant means the inner has less mesh and won't be so cold in spring/autumn if breezy.

i upgraded from a wild country and saved myself over 1.5kg
