Hi, I’ve used the southern cross, suolo, Nortent vern 1 and a couple 3 season+ The hili is the definite winner and the reason why it’s the only 4 season tent I own now as nothing compares but unless you’re planning on going out in absolute snowstorms with mega high winds I think going for a 3+ season is fine. Before I had my hili I literally only had the terra nova voyager for about 3 years and was my year round tent and served me exceptionally well in bad conditions so it’s not always necessary to get the most expensive thing going if you’re not going to use it for that. If you are however then I would recommend the hili nortent vern 1 was super solid too and a good contender for half the price! Hope this helps! Happy camping 🏕️
I have a Terra Nova Voyager, it’s 24 years old, gets used for about three weeks every year, and still looks brand new.
I would get something like a terra nova voyager (actually 4 season) which is in the heavier end of your range and pitches inner first. I have used one (a voyager 2.2, a discontinued version) in the uk for many years and it’s amazing. Saves you buying two tents, and works all year round, super super durable I guess if you want to go specifically 3 season and get another heavier 4 season tent later, then you may as well go lightweight on this one and buy something like big Agnes copper spur ul2 or nemo hornet But my experience of owning and using a terra nova in the UK for many years is that the durability and weatherproofing is far superior to the more lightweight 1P tent I have (big sky design), even though this is still a great tent. I’d choose my voyager again any time
My absolute favorite is my Terra Nova Voyager - had it at least 20 years and it’s totally bombproof. It’s too heavy for solo though. But I can probably pitch that tent blindfolded, and it’s always as tight as a drum.
You just missed the Kuiu Storm star which was around £300 in the sale. I did find a Terra Nova voyager used but needed seam sealing again. Like others have said though £200 is going to be cutting it fine for a 4 season that can handle those altitudes and conditions safely.
