I'm hoping to tap into the wisdom of the forum for some tent advise.

I'm planing a 5 month trip to south america starting in patagonia and finishing in Colombia.

We want to do the full circuit at Torres Del Paine and want to camp. It will be summer so should not get much below zero even on a cold night but I am worried about the wind.

We would like a light tent but it has to be able to stand up to strong winds. I was looking at the ordos but think this is too lightweight as does the chap at Alpkit I just chatted to (he suggested the kangri).

Has anyone done it or have any advise please.

2 people?

I was really impressed with the Coleman cobra 3 I took to Holland this summer. Plenty of room for 2 and baggage. Held up to a couple of very heavy rain storms well.

Coleman cobra 3
Yup 2 people. 2 pretty clueless campers. Planning many practice erections before we get there.
That looks like an interesting shout and certainly a lot more economical than some of the others I've been looking at after discounting the ordos.
