Cheap lightweight tent

elbono

Anyone know of a good deal on cheap light tents that you could bring to a festival.

I'm going to glastonbury and want to get something that'll fit into my backpack and not take up millions of space.

Any help would be mightily appreciated.

or anyone got a favourite festival tent to reccommend?

argos have a selection of regatta 2 man pop up tents for €27.49 and they weigh 1.8kg

Thanks for that, the only thing though is that those pop up tents don't pack down small, any other ideas of genius?

Note that the hydrostatic head is only 1200mm on that, so isn't classed as waterproof, just water resistant.

Buy a wash in waterproofer for jackets in an outdoor store and up the water resistance.
