I currently own a very spacious winfield tent which is great in the summer but it is no go for winter/spring/autum camping and genrally is dusted off in April and packed away in September.
I am looking to get a 2nd small tent to use for one nighters and in the winter for warmth, stability, quickness to erect(my current tent takes 20mins inc porch). My budget is around £100, I want outer first or as one.
I have to admit I have fallen in love with the Phad X I like the shape and the space you get inside and the ease to put up (it is as one). I am currently looking at both the two and the three as I am a bit of a luxury camper in the sense I am not usually seen without my boxed airbed whilst camping so am torn between keeping it small for warmth and getting the bigger one for comfort.
I am not too bothered by wieght or pack size as anythng is going to look small next to a 5 person tent although I do hope that I may take both in the future to camp for one night in the small and longer in the big (I can only drive about 4-5 hours).
So any other recommendations? do I get the 2 or 3 if I go for the X Phad? and what have coleman improved in the 2008 version? what are they like to cook in when it is raining is it possible?
Thanks
Hannaxxx

Hanna, the Phad X3 is basically the rebranded Quartz 3 (Note the Phad X2 is totally different to the Quartz 2). The Quartz 3 is an excellent little tent so if you want to save a few pennies you could always pickup a bargain Quartz 3.

I have looked at the quartz 3 and it is the same price pretty much as last years models of the phad X3 world of camping has some very good deals at the moment. Seems mad to me but I'm not complaining!
