Tent recommendation

Yorky · 2009-08-16 21:39:18

Can anyone recommend a compact tent suitable for a cycling holiday i.e. lightweight, waterproof, compact and easy to erect.

I have a Coleman Rigel which I have used for the past 3 years in France/Spain. Weighs in at a mere 960g and at the following link(http://www.amazon.co.uk/Coleman-Rigel-X2-Backpacking-Tent/dp/B000PDHQO0) is less than half the price than what I paid in Dublin for it. Hardly notice it on the back of the bike and assembles in minutes. The only complaint I have is that with myself and wife, there was little space for 2 sets of panniers plus handlebar bags but they did fit in with a squeeze (which is more than I got).

Vango Spirit 200 or 200+. The + model has an extended porch which is very useful for putting bags in. very light tents as well, have been using one extensively since 20006.
