    Vango Spectre 200 is a cracking 2 man tent, with storage space at either end. Total weight is 2.7kg, which is fine between two - I've carried it on my own whilst wild camping before now. It's rock solid in driving wind and rain, I really can't fault it. I've had little or no condensation when I've used it, either.

    The only down-side is the porch is a tad small, but if you can work around that, you'll have a superb tent for about €100 if you shop around!

    If you want it, get it from the link below - an utter bargain!!! :D

    I have a Gelert Mercury 2 that I'm looking to get rid of, google it for details and drop me a PM if interested.

    what about a Shangri-la
    a roomy 2 man Tipi or comfy 3 man
    best of all it comes it at 1.1Kg, I've seen it in action and it's a great piece of kit, you can pitch it in 2 mins. it's on my list!!!

    The OP specified a tent for less than €200! The Shangri-La is £180 without the nest or ground sheet, and that's without taking the exchange rate into account. Honestly...

    Cheers Colblimp, OP also said light, I don't think 2.7Kg is light I provided an option, the Tipi alone fits budget (albeit just about @ €201), you don't have to get the nest, and any ground sheet will do. It can be investigated or ignored, thanks for your input though :D
