    There are lots of types of dome tents at lots of different prices.

    We bought a small 2 person 4+ season dome tent that wouldn't blow away after a hairy experience with a millets tent and a 50mph gale on a cliff. £220. Peas in a pod and rock solid. BUT too small for much comfort. This was from a YHA shop a while back.

    So for the next holiday we bought a £160 (ex-demo) vango equinox 350 LINK it was light enough for us both to carry on trains and transport but no hiking. You can sit in comfort if its raining and cook under the huge flysheet, play games etc. Lots of space in the sleeping area. Couple of beach chairs. Ours was an old model bought at a tent exhibition on the last day.

    It all depends on what you are looking for.

    Do not buy the cheapest tent if you expect to have to put up with more than a light shower or gentle winds.

    What do you want to do with the tent and what's your budget?
