Hi all,
It seems that finally after months of searching I found a nice affordable brand of tents which can be ordered in Europe.
Now the problem lies between two models.
They both have a 70 g/m2, 40d nylon 6.6 ripstop, silicone-coated both sides Flysheet, but one model is 5000mm (lightwave g20 trek) and the other one 3000mm (lightwave g20 ion).
About the groundsheet, one is 135 g/m2, 150d polyester taffeta, 3-pass PU-coated (g20 ion), and the other one is 110 g/m2, 70d nylon taffeta, 3-pass PU-coated. Both 5000mm.
I'm not really sure what this means. I've been googling but I still wonder what's the practical difference.
In the end for me it all sums up to a 50 euros difference and a 200g weight difference too. But I wonder if there's something else I'm missing.
I don't expect to encounter snow during my trips, but I do expect tons of wind and quite some rain.
Thank you
