I'm not sure if I'm looking for something that doesn't exist! Have been scouring the net for an air tent (less than 15kg) with sewn in groundsheet, mesh windows (although not a deal breaker) with a porch area or where the door becomes a canopy. Separate bedroom area too! Will be camping by myself so an air tent would be more practical otherwise I would go for a pole tent. The Gidleigh 5 is perfect but I'm put off by the weight - I realise air tents are heavier but this one seems heavier than others. Any recommendation will be greatly received

Don't forget to leave a review of all tents you've used, for a chance to win fantastic prizes

New! Please upload a photo of your tent to the Tent Showcase!

A friend (lone female) has the Outdoor Rev Airedale 5, granted it is 28KG but it is a great tent. You get used to the weight
