Jet Tent or Khyam?

We are looking for a family tent, so just looking for some advice. Been researching for a while, and happy to pay the extra for the Jet Tent, but is it worth it?

I will want to use it throughout the winter in Scotland and we plan on travelling through Europe next year, so it will get plenty of use.

Cheers

Looking at the both tents I would be worried about the strength in a snow storm.

Have you looked at the lavo type tents from Helsport,bergans, tentippi.

They are fairly quick to set up, and are strong.

I would go for tentipi as well ! As above with wood burner if using in Scotland in winter,

For a family tent I would look at the outwell range of tents ! I have the bear lake 6 it's fantastic !
But I wouldn't use it in winter especially North of the border ?

Good luck Thumbs Up

And that was a bl**dy cold weekend! Not to mention wet! Mind you, your tent was about 50degC with that stove running Laughing

I'm slightly concerned that Ray needs a ladder to get in it!

I hope you're not as bad with a ladder as Ent is when he's had a beer or 12.

For what it's worth I bought a Khyam Harewood for the summer. I wasn't convinced by the easy set up and it's certainly heavy and bulky. i sent it back and am looking at other options.

Many thanks for the information, had a look last night and really impressed with the Tipi tent. I had a look at the Vanranger Camp at Tamarack Outdoors and this would be great.

Now for the stove, found this
