Hi
My girlfrient has decided to come camping with me - but she will get a little claustrophobic in my small 2 man tent. So... I am looking at purchasing a new one - 3 man, so that she will have a little room to breathe.
I had ordered a Merlin 33 (North Face) (at £185) but that was out of stock so the order was cancelled and now I am looking at the ME Refuge 3 for £115
Has anyone got one of these?
Also, as we may be using this on holidays in slightly sunnier climbs, I was hoping for something which could be pitched fly only - with a purpose footprint available - can I get one for the Refuge 3?
Finally - for the money - £185 max, can anyone suggest an alternative which they think would do the job? I think I would go for the merlin if it was available at about £200 - what are your thoughts
The Refuge 3 is a weighty thing, coming in at over 4.6 kilos!
Thanks
Why not invest in a two man extended tent version instead, if a standard two man is going to maybe be a little too small, potentially. A few manufacturers still make such tents today - which are just a little larger within than the standard model is. The two of you are going to be in it together, so why not perhaps go look at some tents together in store, to try them out for size and suitability before you buy?
