Went to a tent fair at the weekend and had a look around a number of outwells. They look really well made, sewn in goundsheet to flysheet, very sturdy (though heavy looking) poles. I ended up buying a eurohike buckingham for £125, not as good as an outwell but Iam planning on a lavvu next year so didn't want to spen too much.

Do it! Thats all i can say, they are amazing tents.
Outwell are renowned for using 'too much' waterproofing on their fabrics - I have the Indiana 4 - it has withstood several severe weather bashings, never leaked or felt in the slightest bit unstable, even in the wind with it being so tall. Thats another thing - to be able to stand up in a tent when you get past 30 is a must!
The only down side to mine is that the pins that go into the bottom of the poles are really hard to get in but even so I can still set the tent up on my own in 15 mins.
I'll calm down now, promise... (you've just seen me in tent fetish mode - sorry, its very scary....)

My main tent for family holidays is an Outwell Montana 6. Similar to the Vermont. It is great. It's stood rock solid for a fortnight of alpine storms and hail the size of squash balls. The year before it survived some fine french storms and winds. It never made us worry for one second. It has loads of space - backs down pretty well for the size tent it is - easy to put up seeing as it's a monster. And it's green the bushcrafters colour....
Seriously I can't recommend Outwell enough and they would be my first choice for any tent.

i'm glad you think so we decided to buy the montana 6 ourselves in the end, only managed to get two nights in it so far but first impresions are very good
