We're inthe process of replacing the expedition tents used by our Scout group and I'd like the opinion of the group as to which models to go for. Requirements are for an expedition grade tent, 3 person sleeping capacity, some rucksack space. These tents will only be used on expeditions in mountainous areas (we have other tents fo more static camping) so things like weight and ability to stand up to weather are important). I'd expect the budget to run to around £300 per tent and we're looking for 5.

I have heard good things about the Aztec Duro but have not seen one myself. The Plus version is a 3 person 4 season tent but is perhaps a bit heavy at just over 5kg. However it is only about £160 and the heavier construction my be more suitable for your clientele than the super light construction featured in the more expensive and lighter competition.
Some suppliers in no particular order and none of which I have any experience of:
