Hi, I'm looking for a semi-geodesic 3kg tent to replace my 9 year old Vango Hydra for car camping
and occasional backpacking.
Of all the tents I've found so far the Force 10 Ascent
(http://www.forcetentents.com/products/tents/ascent.html) seems to come closest in spirit to my old
tent, which I've been very happy with. I only wish I'd replaced it a couple of years ago before the
Hydra 200 morphed into the 200+ with an extended porch I don't need!
Any of you guys had any first hand experience with the Ascent and have an opinion?
So far the other tents I've considered include -
Lightwave g2 trek: Nice size, light, want to see one in the flesh before deciding Terra Nova
Explorer and Cassini: too expensive Voyager: too small Vaude Hogan: too small Wild Country
Mistral/Sirocco: Nice but too small/heavy and don't want to climb over my mate to get out for a pee
in the night! Vango Hydra 200+: Don't need the extra porch/weight
Cheers,
Steve
