Hi I know you have all given me advice on tents which i am very greatful for.

For two days camping just to save on B&B coats i have thought about getting either or these but i am worried about the one with the "hood" over the top of the tent and water getting in if these was a wind blowing also or am i just worrying over nothing?

Anyway if you guys had to choose one which one would it be?

This one

Or

this one

Thanks

I'd go for the one with a bit more porch space.

The green tent is 500g lighter than the blue tent, it will therefore be smaller inside. Unless you intend to hike or cycle camp get the larger less cramped tent.

Since you stick all the things you don't want inside the tent under the flysheet eg shoes, cooking pans, stoves and spare gas.

If there are 2 of you then you should really consider a 3 man tent, the third man space is where you stick all your kit that you don't want to use as a pillow.

I have an Cabanon Pacific tent. For the moment i have just one bedroom ( for 2 persons) but i’ve sawed on internet in the description of this tent that is possible to buy the second bedroom . Do you have something like that?
Thank you!

I have the green one, it is fine as a very small tent, good in bad weather etc.

But you will be far more comfortable in the blue one. Taller, bigger porch. The porch has a groundsheet. And a window. Handy when you want to stay in your sleeping bag, unzip the bedroom a bit and check the weather. For the couple of extra £ I think it is better value.

Yes, I'd go for the blue one as well because it's just that bit bigger. I bought a similar sized one from Argos about 6 or 7 years ago for overnight/weekend trips. It's not a top of the range tent by any means but it was only about £50 and I've used it about 6 times so it has paid for itself. My daughter is taking it to Reading this year - hopefully it will survive that!
