Hi all,

I have approx £100 to spend on a tent (3 man). Will use it occssionally on the hills (so needs to be light) but will mainly use it for camping on campsite with my 2 girls.

Looking at the Vango Omega 350  http://www.gooutdoors.co.uk/tents/5023518600949  which seems to fit the bill.

Are there any better alternatives out there? Is Vango a decent brand?

Any help gratefully received. Thx in advance.

For the price you can't get much better than Vango really. If you wanted one that was a bit lighter but a bit less space, this looks pretty good and a lot lighter if you are carrying.

Thy do it here for £89.99

Vango are a good brand, I've got a Spirit and I'm very happy with the build quality and attention to detail on it. I have a really tough Vango rucksack too.

I've not seen an Omega 350 in the flesh but it does appear to be the heaviest of the 3-man tents in Vango's lightweight category at over 5 kg, but you certainly get a lot more space than with the others! The Arrow, Tempest and Spectre are all lighter in their 3 man versions and all under £100 but have less headroom and space.

I'm sure that you'll get a few recommendations for the Tempest shortly - it appears to be a highly regarded tent on here. Meanwhile there are some threads on the Omega here and here and here .

Burwa,

What brand(s) would you recommend? 

Gary

P.S. Thanks for the input all.

D'oh - Just read your original post again Burwa.

Apologies, for some strange reason, I read it as "For the price you can get much better than Vango really" not can't.

Thx for the help.
