Hi Stevie,

I have been looking at the same tents but decided that I might need more head room to sit up, I am looking at the Tempest 300, I have read a recent review on the Vango spectre 200 and they said that they had trouble pushing the poles through as the sleeves were tight. The Spirit looks good but a bit pricy pity about the headroom happy camping
