Hi all. I am looking for recommendations on the best, low-cost 2-person tent with a mesh inner, ideally for around £50 to £75. I already own a Vango Fireblazer 500 dome tent that has an inner mesh and totally love it as the double-skin arrangement prevents condensation running down the interior side walls. As a result I am after something similar with the mesh inner and flysheet and a small front vestibule for wet boots, jacket, etc, and adequate ventilation is a must. I'm not wanting a 3-4 season model as it will only be used during the summer (hence the ventilation requirement). Weight is not a major issue as I'm not backpacking with it. My thoughts are to look at the usual suspects i.e.Amazon, Go Outdoors, Decathlon, Argos but will look at others too such as Millets, Cotswold Outdoor and Blacks. Something better and/or a bit more upmarket than a "disposable" festival tent would be ideal. Any suggestions and recommendations would be appreciated. Many thanks.

Welcome to UKCS.
Can’t help with specific suggestions but I’ve found the Blacks website very helpful for tents. A very wide range of makes & you might hit on a sale & get a bit more for your budget.
However, for £50, it probably won’t be as good as your Vango.
