I did buy the Vango Aruba 600 in the end but have now sent it back to the retailer as it leaked (beyond the recommended period of weathering). It leaked around the windows and also from the seams where the eyelets are for holding up the back of the inner. There was also a flaw in the cotton in one area (not a slub, almost a hole!).

Ps.For Mark- I don't think cotton tents should be sealed on the seams as they do not have seam sealant on, like nylon ones, to cover stitch holes - the canvas is supposed to expand to fill the stitch holes.

Now awaiting a refund before getting something else that's actually waterproof !
