Which tent - 4 season, 2.5kg, 6ft2in, vestibule 9-Jun-2009 At 4:32:40 PM shmalec

Thanks folks. Quick response with some good recommendations I wasn't aware of. It's been a while since I bought a tent and there are lots of new brands.

The Exped tents seem to be light, but is the Sirius really 4 season? Don't like the large unsupported flat section on top. Venus might be better but not sure if it's intended as a mountain/snow tent. Anyone know if these are single skin?

Bibler Tempest looks good as does BD Stormtrack. Stormtrack is double layer and has lots of crossing poles but could be a pain to pitch. Anyone used one of these? Both are a bit on the heavy side 3.2kg.

Anyone used an MSR Dragon tail? Only 2.5kg, single skin, 3 hoop tunnel. Good size although not sure if I could sit up properly.
