That looks half way decent... Can you pitch it fly only?
The weight will be a bit of a shock to the system... But if we carried half each?
Cheap enough to buy a barra or hire a sherpa4.2kg of Alpha for £70, bargain
They would have to do an orange one wouldn't they

We've been happy with the 2p xmid so far. Would also consider the stratospire (have used Moles, and would've got that if the xmid wasn't nearly half the price and a tickle lighter weight). Both are well discussed online so won't go into any particulars here.
There aren't many "ultralight" tents that are really 3 person (aside from the triplex and tarptent hogback). I know someone here got a custom 4 person "drift" from trekkertent. The other option I'd personally look at for oversized but lightweight would be a big mid or tipi, and it sounds like you have that covered.
I have a brand new, with tags still attached, lightwave T20 trail . Never used, not even pitched.Nah then....
We are looking for recommendations for a 2 to 3 person tent. Double skin, considerably storm capable but we're not talking full gale force.
Room For two to be comfortable and have space to play ... Scrabble, cards etc plus kit outside the nest.
Shelter Space to cook out of the weather when needed.
Reasonably straight forward to put up on a windy wet day/night.
3kg max weight. Ideally nearer to 2kg.
Shes fallen out of love with the new large tarp already and the supermid hasn't been used this year.
We're in two minds on splurging for an original inner (not the supermid net... Perhaps one of the xl inners) or selling up and buying a complete tent.
Looking for suggestions on what may work and what may not work.
Cheers
I know they're not everyones cup of tea, weight, tunnel, inner first etc, but for reliability of performance i'd choose a Lightwave every time.I have a brand new, with tags still attached, lightwave T20 trail . Never used, not even pitched.
2 person, 4 season. Weight about 2.5kg I think.
Can give you more details if you want.
Thanks

Having recently gone through a similar search for a 2-3 person roomy and wind stable tent, there are a few that stood out. We picked the Strat 2 in the end but it was a hard decision and the following were all contenders. Are you OK with tunnel tents? We were going stability primarily, so if it's less of an issue for you then you'll have more choice. Some are pretty up there price-wise though. Nordisk Oppland 2 Si, Hilleberg Kaitum 2, Hilleberg Nammatj, Fjallraven Endurance 2, Fjallraven Abisko Shape 3, Lightwave T30 Hyper and Hyper XT, Vaude Mark L 2P and Hogan, Trekkertent Drift...There were a few interesting offerings from Wild Country and Vango F10 too.
Agree, the good thing about the t20 is that it can be pitched outer 1st, inner 1st or both together. That's why I got it but I now camp mainly solo so is surplus to requirements.I know they're not everyones cup of tea, weight, tunnel, inner first etc, but for reliability of performance i'd choose a Lightwave every time.

Msr hubba hubba hp in new condition. 1.9 kg. Great tents, ask @Arne L.
Like the look of this one, seems very well suited to UK conditions. How does it hold up in heavy rain/strong wind?
