Does this tent exist?

Hello All!

I wonder if I can pick your brains? I'm looking for a tent with very specific features. While I have been able to find tents that do have some of the details, I've yet to locate my 'perfect' tent. Here are my requirements;

It must be a 3 person dome tent
It must have an outer and inner
It must weigh less than 5kg, actually, the lighter the better
It must have a minimum headroom of 115cm - preferably more
It must have a porch with a front opening door
It must have a built-in groundsheet in that porch
It must have a protective 'skirt' around the porch to stop rain/mud getting in

It doesn't feel like I'm asking for too much, but I've looked and looked, and cannot find a tent with ALL of the above.

Please, can anybody out there help me??

Hi Vicky!

Thanks for that, I'll give it a whirl!

The Vango Alpha 300 fits all your requirements except for the SIG groundsheet in the porch and the "skirt" - I think its unlikely that you'll find a small tent with a SIG in the porch - even large family tents usually only have a separate one in the porch or a detachable "bathtub" one and most modern dome tents don't have a "skirt" at all.

The Alpha 300 is a 3 person tent, with flysheet plus inner for bedroom. Porch with groundsheet (not sewn-in). Headroom is 105 in the porch and 120 in the inner and it all weighs 4.5kg.

Get over to https://www.outdoorsmagic.com and ask there. There are a lot of real gear freaks on there.

However to me what you are describing sounds like a slightly more specialised tent than the regular family tents.

You'll struggle to get one with a sewn in groundsheet in the porch and it could cost a fair bit too. You could look at Vango, Force Ten, Terra Nova, North Face etc.
