'NICE WEE TENT'
Strengths:
Light,small pack size,very easy to put up.Loads of storage pockets.
Weaknesses:
Chilly in cold weather due to mostly mesh inner.Issues with cooking due to the small porch as mentioned in nearly every review.
Overall:
I have a lot of confidence in this wee tent,I use it all year round but wouldn't use it at the top of a Ben.It's fine for an adult and a child/dog.

'GREAT TENT'
Strengths:
Light Weight easy to put up & take down Very Waterproof
Weaknesses:
Small Porch
Overall:
Well what can I say about the Banshee other than "The best tent I have Ever owned!" It is a fantastic tent & at 2kg I'm surprised anyone can say they need a lighter tent. It is a great bit of kit I used it on my Summer Mountain Leader Training pitched it on dry flat land. Had very heavy rain that night & woke up with a stream flowing under the tent. Not even the smallest bit of water got into the tent thanks to the Bathtub groundsheet. Two of us slept in the tent though the Rucksacks have to be kept out side (On slightly Higher land I'm glad to say) under rain covers but you would expect this in such a small tent. The tent is very easy to put up & dry's very quickly. Could do with a slightly bigger opening at the front to allow for better cooking but other than that it is a fantastc tent for £80 & I would reccomend it to anyone.
