I would say 2.6 kgs for a two man tent is heavy. Its about the same as mine. I have had much lighter tents. However for a large two man its not that bad for weight
Like many things tents are a comprimise. Its nce to be able to have a bit of extra room in the tent – two folk can sit comfortably in ours and you can get dressed easily in it. Howeer that comes at a price – weight.
We spend a lot of time in the tent over the years so that bit of extra room is good
I reakon our tent has 300 or so nights use and is still totally waterproof.
So decide on your compromises. Is it for a fortnights holiday – a bit of extra room is nice. Is it for just a single night at a time – you might get away with a smaller one. Want to use it for years? Get a high quality one.
