Ultralighter
It seems British tent brands aren't that popular on here. US or foreign brands seem to be favoured even with import costs, shipping times and less focus on local conditions. Chinese makes like 3F UL and even Aricxi seem to get more attention.
Apart from Lightwave a million years ago I've not owners a British 'cottage industry' tent. Lightwave are Crux I believe and seem very small I believe. Trekkertent a 1-man outfit, prices seem good, DCF and silpoly options, but up to an 8 week lead time. Terra Nova have been around ages, have lots of models, but again don't seem to get much love relatively speaking.
Why is this? Are we just not good at making tents for our own islands? Crap at dealing with East Asian suppliers?
Or am I in fact wrong about all this and making an assumption without any market information (which I don't have).
