Following on from my thread "Where to buy Quechua Tent Online? " where it appears you can't I'm looking for recommendations for an alternative tent to the "2 Seconds III XL" which I was after.

I know of the "Outwell Jersey M" from the reviews on this site but would be interested to hear from anyone who can compare the "2 secs III XL" to another tent.

Thanks in advance

Mark

There's the Vango Swift 300, which is a 3-man tent. And it is available on-line too!

I was looking into the Swift, but it seems to have an issue with the outer touching the inner resulting in water inlet.

As my review suggests I can recommend the Jersey M, but it has no porch.

For 2 people there is loads of space to store stuff besides the beds, but for muddy shoes etc. it maybe more problematic.

Damned good tent though, would trust it in any weather.

I got it on sale at £44, but not sure of availability at the moment online?

The 2 man S version is still on sale at Yeomans for £29.99 if that's any help?

After looking round the reviews on here and else where on the interweb I've gone for a Vango Swift 300. Am aware of the issue round the inner/outer and putting it away but have seen some very good reviews.

Plan to use it in the next few months so I'm sure I'll see some rain.

Thanks all

Have a great time in the Vango when you go camping!

Off anywhere interesting?
