Hi all. I know this has been discussed quite a bit before, but most of the reviews/feedback I can find still leaves me a bit unsure.
I'm looking to buy a new tent since my trusty Ferrino is now at it's end after 13 years of rigorous usage.
It will mainly be used for backpacking and climbing peaks around South Africa. Winter and summer. So that means it needs to be a lightweight tent, sleeps 2 (me and my wife) and most importantly it should stand up to the hardcore cape winds and winter rain. We have snow higher up but it's not really like bucket loads...
yea but this means often pitching the tent high up in the rain while the wind is howling.
I'm also very set on having a good vestibule for cooking. The number of nights I had to cook in my tent while it's blowing buckets of ice rain outside really makes this a vital attribute.
I'm really liking the Hilleberg Nallo 2 (even keen to carry the heavier Nammadj 2) but I've never seen one in person. Only review and discussions on the internet. Though if the Nallo is strong enough I'd appreciate the lighter load
Then there's the Lightwave G20 Mtn. It looks like a bomber tent. Light and spacious! But I can't find anything about it online? Does anyone have any experience with it?

I'm also curious how the Fjalraven Abisco light 2 compares to the nallo? They look very similar. The Nordisk Holland 2 also looks to be in the same spec?
Cool but feedback and suggestions would be greatly appreciated
