Are you looking at a 4 season tent because expecting some snow load?
There won't be much difference warm-wise between 3 and 4 season tents.
Kurai-
Not really. Just working on the assumption it's what people use in winter.
But if you look at my "3 season" tent compared to the Hilleberg "3 season" tent they're vastly different. Mine might be 3 seasons in Oz but that Hilleberg looks like it'd do 3 seasons on the side of a mountain in France.
I guess what I'm looking for is a slightly bigger tent, particularly bigger vestibule area(s), two entrances would be nice and something that's definitely going to survive going back to Scotland in winter.
hippy
So, we're now the Fly Creek experts. If we wanted a warmer tent, like a 4-season thing that isn't stupid heavy where would you look? I like the idea of a single skin one for faster setup/teardown in the rain but do they have enough breathability to not fill with condensation? Looking at MSR, BigAgnes and Lightwave kinda stuff and not that crazy £1k+ shit for going up mountains. Also would like a little more room and in particular a larger vestibule for kit and/or cooking within/under. 2 entrances nice to have too.
