The Tempest range of tents represents an excellent compromise between comfort and weight reduction, and is one of the recommended tents for Duke of Edinburgh award expeditions. The internal area of the tent is less cramped than some lightweight options, and the small external vestibule gives an area to store your bags leading to more room inside the tent. As with all of the Vango expedition quality tents, the Tempest come with a 5000HH polyester flysheet that keeps everything out, making this a truly four-season tent. The upper third of the door to the inner tent is a mesh fabric, designed to keep insects out but allow the tent to breathe and to prevent condensation. The tunnel design means that the tent hugs the ground and is stable in poor weather. On the negative side, it is a bit heavier than other options, which you'll notice if you're planning to carry over long distances - see our comparison of other lightweight tents linked above if this might be a problem.Best bits: Very reasonable price for an excellent quality tent, bigger inside than some lightweight options
Worst bits: On the heavy side of things for a true expedition tent
