They look like really good tents. cheers. Was on their website. They seem to be an American company. Can't seem to find a lot of stockists in G B though.

With regards to the Lanshan 2. Can I ask what stockist you got it from. Thanks.
Cheers.
I bought my Lanshan 2 from Aliexpress, but there are ones available on Amazon and Ebay.
Two is one and one is none, but three is even better.

The Arctic dome is a good snow tent but not great in UK rainy weather; you can't get a really taught pitch so rain tends to puddle on the roof. Used Bell tents on ebay at the moment for about £450 collection only. Good tent but way too heavy and old better off buying a new canvas/polycotton bell tent and fitting a stove jack for the flue yourself for the same money; better still a tipi tent

and fit a stove jack for a woodburner IMHO.

Vango Tempest 250 or 350 if on a budget - Is what I use.

OR one Snugpak tents if not on a budget - is what I aspire to.

I have the Vango Ark 200 & 300 great little tents amongst my tent collection which I use for festivals although Im getting a bit old to be crawling in and out so just bought myself the Pomoly Hex, tipi style hot tent. We bought a bell tent a couple of years ago now and use a stove in that too. Lightweight wise Im with Trojanhorse and would go with the Snugpak Scorpion 3 which Ive read some good reviews about.
