3rd tent
Hi there, last year I bought a Khyam Z1 one man tent in a sale for 40 quid. excellent tent or so I thought. In reality there are no pockets to put anything like keys or in my case glasses. Most important. Also quickly discovered that there is no room inside to store equipment such as helmets or boots or in my case soft luggae. ( I cant afford fixed secure hard luggage, it is soft with pacsafes for now)
I then discovered my GF wanted to come with me so I bought a Khyam Calgary 2 man tent, again in a sale for 25 quid. Great tent but not enough room for gear.
I finally settled on a Vango Omega 250. It cost a 100 quid but has loads of space for equipment takes no longer to put up and pack down than the other two and weighs less and packs smaller into the bargain. I guess whatever tent you buy you will find something better in the end.
Incidentally I have discovered it is the same with stoves, sleeping bags, sleeping mats and just about everything to do with camping. You buy what you can afford and then discover why expensive gear is just that, expensive. Getting it right is trial and error and costs a fortune! Best of luck.
