Hi all, this is my 1st post on the forum but in my defence, I was simply too busy reading the endless information contained in the various post/forums of BPL. I'm convinced some of you can give me new insights and new ideas!
I'm looking for a 2 man tent that can withstand the bad weather of the Canadian Rockies. I do not plan to go on an overnight alpine climb in the middle of our winter but it is common to get high winds and snow even in summer due to the elevation.
My criteria are… (even though I do not leave in an ideal world…)
Vestibule (even a small one will do)
Space for two to sit and wait out a storm.
Easy to set up!
Under 4# (since I'll be climbing with it)
Stable in high winds
Able to support some snow loads.
Ideas:
Scarp 2 (is it strong enough? And yes, I read the recent review.)
Vaude Hogan Argon (seems too small)
Vaude Odyssee (Are Vaude tent s any good? I've never seen one in the flesh) My favorite so far
Vaude Specula Alpin (Anyone has info on this one?)
Brooks-Range Rocket (seems very small and $$$)
Black Diamond Firstlight + vestibule (How water resistant is the fabric/ heard mixed reviews)
Helsport Rondane Light
Hilberg Nallo 2 (At 180cm, will my feet rub the foot end all night? The angle seems tight.)
Nemo Nano (Big enough? Strong enough?)
What am I forgetting?
I will not buy a Stephenson since I have one already and it is a huge disappointment! (Maybe for an other thread…)
Thank you all
Cheers
Pierre D
