We used to have an Aztec Cantera 9, superb tent, well made, lifetime guarantee on poles, stood up to the Cornish monsoon season (August) superbly, never let in a drop of water, had this tent for two years and then sold it to a friend who is still using it.
For the same trip we purchased an Aztec Cascada 2 man for the niece to sleep in, once again superbly made, lifetime guarantee on poles and from being new out of the packet never let a drop of water in, even though the heavens opened, this little 2 man lightweight was still waterproof.
All we can say is buy Aztec!

Just remember, if it is older than yours, smaller than yours but next to yours, there is probably no credit owing on it...

In YOUR opinion, what is the best quality brand/make for tents...
How long is a piece of string?
Vaude and Wild Country both have excellent reputations, especially for smaller all-season tents (for instance Vaude's Taurus Ultralight was Camping magazine's 'best value tent'). For something bigger, Outwell score consistently well in reviews and Obelink bell tents are renowned for their quality.
Quality will, of course, vary with price: size for size, you cannot reasonably compare tents costing under £50 with those costing up to £250.
And, as others have said, quality can vary within brands.

... would appreciate it if you could tell me the make of yours.
Of my several tents, I am particularly pleased with my Vango three-berth which, though not particularly high spec, is sturdy and well made for the price.
