Light' Ish Weight Tent You Can Stand Up In.
I just got one of these Luxe Megahorn II tents, you can stand up in it and its around 4kg very well made not sure I'd want a wood stove in one though.



These folks sell them, very quick delivery.

That looks nice and spacious. And it's a good price too, if it stands up in all weathers. I've got a Golite Hex 3 that's I've had for a few years. It's very light (just over 1kg for the outer, about 2.2kg with the nest) and more than spacious enough for me. I can move around rather than crawl around. I had a yellow one that leaked around the seams, so I sent it back and got a green one that's been reliable and not leaked at all. The one pole design is also simple and quick to put up.



Here's a pic of me yellow one.

A nice video of this tent on YT. It's clearly got tons of space, is fairly easy to put up and isn't that bulky when packed. Nice buy. Hmmm, I wonder.

Why do you need to stand up? Tents are for sleeping in, not living in. [Image: 7fSuuCNkjsm.png]

If you've ever been holed up in the pouring rain for days, needed to hang up soggy garments or to cook out of the wind and rain, you'd appreciate the space of a spacious tent.

Here in UK that's most of the time lately. <img src='http://www.carpe-tdm.net/ipb/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Smile' /> Packed size is important the big tipi mentioned above is 12.5kg,

I did think of the Redverz expedition tent to park my bike in, but they are expensive and prone to breaking poles by all accounts.

Yeah, go figure. Everyone knows you can't get an impressive tent up without easy erection.

Everyone wants a big tent... My tent is bigger than yours, my pole is bigger than yours...

Bunch of size-queens.
