Budget bikepacking/backpacking tent

I managed last month to get my, er, paws on an original (green) Tiger Paws tent (an as-new example) yet the main pole snapped at a join (Suppose they are about 20yrs old now?) and I’m now on my last set of spares. So next year it’s time to bite the bullet and buy something more well-made, maybe half to a kilo lighter and hopefully also uses trekking poles.

Shortlisted:

Vango Heddon
Lanshan…

…and a latecomer which I just noticed today – a Durston Gear X-Mid 1 Solid

Which looks like it makes a lot of sense – I’m really impressed by the design, specs and reviews that I’ve seen. However, they seem to sell out v quickly (instantly) and also demand another hundred quid on my existing budget. Plus taxes/shipping. Gah.

Yeah just watched a vid on that one this evening as it happens.

That Durston, they don’t state the actually sleeping length.

They quote every other number, just not this – that makes me suspicious, especially as I’m taller than most.

No idea on price either.

That Durston, they don’t state the actually sleeping length.

@intheborders of you look on their website its 230 cm long but it’s slightly longer as it’s not a rectangle due to the way it’s offset with the walking poles opposite each other. Over 80cm wide too.
