Very similar to the banshee and bedrock tents. Never come across this one before but for a shop branded tent it seems a little pricey compared to a few of the big name brands.

Seems to tick a lot of boxes for 50 quid. I've never heard of mountain warehouse, but it looks like a simple design with a good porch/storage area, low profile, and probably quick to pitch. It's not ulta-light, but it's lighter than many so-called backpacking tents (which turn out to be over 2kg!), and weighs about the same as my old Wildcountry Voyager, but this one costs about 150 quid less!

Mountain Warehouse were the clearance outlet for Karrimor at one time. They then started with their own brand of clothing/equipment - they sell almost exclusively if not entirely their own brand stuff now

just ordered it as a lightweight alternative to all my other tents and read a review on it and someone said they are owned by vango so it basically is a banshee 200

Thats exactly the same as my 2010 banshee 200. This one pitches inner first the same as the older version of the banshee whereas the 2011 version is outer first.
