I'm looking for a new tent mostly for cycle touring. I want something relativly light weight and had pretty much decided on a Six Moon Designs Lunar Duo but the import duty is scaring me off a bit, does anyone know how much it is? I was working on about 20%, that plus VAT at 20% puts the price up a fair whack!
It does meet a lot of my criteria though; light, 2 man, tall enough to sit up in, door(s) on the long side, two doors...
Then I saw the Golite Shangri-la 3 which with the nest looks like it would make a good two man tent, albeit it's a bit out of left field and doesn't really fit the criteria I've set above. My main concerns are water coming in to the sleeping area when you open the door in rain - Any teepee users care to comment (is Charlie about or is he in a hendge somewhere in Ireland by now?) ? You also can't really cook undercover in it but for some reason I'm still tempted!
Anything else I should be considering before I throw my money at one of these? I did look at the Vango Ton was considering as for the money it looks good (except the single door) but it is more of a 1+ rather than a 2 and we plan to sleep in this for most of October so would like the extra space.
