Thanks Bill. I chose it because it is supposed to be 5000mm hydrostatic head which is pretty good. It's also very good in high wind conditions. Used it about five times now and very pleased.

Hi Dick.
That also looks like it would be an easy and quick tent to pitch.
What is the head room like......can you sit up in it mate?
Have you another picture showing the vestibule size?

This is definitely a consideration for me also as well as the carry weight.
The 5000 HH would swing the decision too.

I note that some of the Banshee 300 tents are 3000HH and the newer ones 5000HH

Hi Bill, I can sit up in it ok. Dimension pic attached. The vestibule is quite small so they do an ad-on gear store, pic attached for £36. But as it is a supposedly 3 man unit there is loads of space for one or two persons plus kit. There is a video on you tube showing pitching. I also bought a footprint groundsheet to go with the tent. Forgot to say I got mine off ebay for £85. Cheapest I can find now is £110. Worth looking at the 200 version if it's just overnighters.

I pressed the button and now have the Gear Store add-on. I'll try it out and put some pictures up.

It weighs 800 grams and isn't too big when bagged.

Always a good thing to have a little more room
