any recommendations for a lightweight 2 man tent?

[Bowlander]

My Vango ridge tent finally gave out - mice raiding my shed....grrrr! Anyhow, I looking for a sub £100 2 man tent. Mostly for summer use hiking and canoeing. I like the look of the Vango Banshee and it has had some good reviews.

Any suggestions welcome!

BAnshee is good but so is the slightly roomier spectre 200. Can get both cheaply if you shop around a bit.

If you are tall then the banshee could be a bit short I think. The spectre fits me in at 6'5" easily. Well two of me could easily fit in with gear.

Thanks for the advice - I'll try the search function, but I think my mind's made up to go with another Vango.

Thanks for the offer, but I'm after something fairly lightweight.

I've got a Vango Halo 300 for less than a ton and I'm very pleased with it. It's almost freestanding and very easy to pitch. The 200 is the two person model.

Cheers, Michael.

I have a banshee 200 and it's a bit cramped, I am about 6 ft and feel that it's a bit short and tight. I have seen the halo and played with it in a shop and I really like it, much more room and feels a lot roomier.

I feel like the banshee is like a bivi you can put your rucksack in too and that's about it, fine for an overnighter but I've used it over a weekend and it drove me mad.
