i am looking for a 2-3 man mountain tent that is a geodesic design (dont know too much about mountain tents but it must be able to withstand strong winds and snow). it should pitch outer first and have a removeable inner, with a large enough vestibule for 2 large rucksacks and a useable space for cooking in.
if possible below 4KG but not overly fussed
havent got too much money to play with, my price range is £250
The one I can think of that comes closest to ticking the boxes you've stated would be the Force10 Vortex, either the 200 or 300 model - that really depends if you want to get 3 in it or just fancied plenty of space for 2.
A bit of googling suggests the 200 at least should be available very close to your price range.
Another thought, check the classifieds on here. There's a dude selling a Crux Bomb for £280. I don't reckon it would sleep 3, but there's plenty of vestibule space for 2 people's cooking and gear. Safer bet than fleabay, etc.
the force ten vortex looks like one solid very good tent but is a good bit out of the price range, does anyone know of somwhere where it is around 250
the vango spirit 300+ ultralight tent looks pretty good and is only 220 at outdoor megastore, i know its not geodesic but it has tonnes of porch space and only weighs 3.25 kg. has anyone got any experience of this and is it a strong reliable tent, i appreciate it wont be anywhere near as strong as the vortex but is it able to cope with strong winds
