For cycle touring, so light weight suggestions/recommendations please.

Thanks.

The standard answer I think is Terra Nova Laser.

I picked up a The North Face Mountain Marathon (1.5Kgs) for £80 from Cotswold a few weeks ago. If you've got a store locally it might be worth asking if they have any left, they were reduced to clear though...

Hilleberge Akto, Saunders Jetpacker, a Lightwave - lots of other options too

Just to add, the Vango Spirit 100 can be had quite cheaply 

Thanks for the suggestions but after a bit of thinking, could you also suggest a few two person tents.

Thanks.

Hilleberg Nallo 2 - 2.1 kg superb 4 season spacious 2 person tent.

If this seems like an option for you - then I might just have one for sale

Got any pics?

If it's so good why are you flogging it?

Do your research first, I only said I might sell it, on the other hand I may not want to sell it to you now. I wont let my tents go to any old Tom, Dick or Dirty Harry (Ooops Karlos).

Once you have read the reviews on Hilleberg Nallo 2 (and checked the price tag), then by all means email me if you feel it is the thing for you. If not theer are hundreds of designs out there.

£100-£150 max.

That  Hilleberg Nallo 2 looks just the job TBH but I fear it would be over budget.

There's some new Force10 tents coming out, the helium, the vapour, etc. There's aq 2 man for about 1.3kg if that's good enough (£200). Cheap for such a lightweight 2 man tent. I'm thinking of getting the 1 man version weighing about 1kg or less but am worried about the internal length being 210cm when I am 196cm (6'5").

Interested in anyone's ideas for a very light weight tent suitable for tall people. Either 2man or 1man. Can be a tarp / tarp tent type of thing.

DK - Sorry if this gets your thread hijacked.

The helium 100 is £145-170 depending on where you look and is as Paul says 1kg in weight for a one man tent. The tent has a proper inner not a mesh inner so can be used in proper UK conditions. It is a tunnel hybrid with a main hoop near the front and a short upright stay at the rear. Internal rigidity is aided by internal tensioning system

worth a pop?

Maybe it's the height of the Heliums you should be concerned about, I tried one for size today in a shop, see my first thoughts here Vango Helium.

Yer man is looking for a two person tent I think.

Vango spirit 200 would fit the bill Karlos. There is also a spirit 200 plus which you can pick up pretty much new for around £100 - £150 These are real stonking tents and have an extended vestibule and are relatively light weight.

true,

in which case the Helium 200 is also worth a look

all in all vango do some damn decent tents (imho)

I'm being a bit awkward actually as I'm not yet decided on a one or two man yet even my planned trips will be solo. I guess I may like the extra room and I do tend to get a bit claustrophobic if I'm honest

But that said I really like the look of the Terra Nova Laser, looks quite roomy for a one man jobbie but for once in my life I am trying to stick to my budget (MTBs already cost me a small fortune!).
