Tent Recommendations?

Hi there,
Could anyone recommend a decent two man tent please? Heading to the Alps in a few weeks and need a tent! It would be for two people and ideally some extra room would be good!
Thanks,
N

I've got an older Force10 version of this. Plenty of room, very stable and quick to pitch ... wouldn't really want to carry or ride with it though

No mentioned of budget, but I can happily make some recommendations.
I'd recommend a TerraNova Voyager XL (or the non-XL version if the XL is too big) any day of the week. Solidly made, rock solid i high winds, can handle just about anything.
A second option, a Mountain Hardware Trango 3. However, forget it if you need to carry it any difference (they're not light), and it's probably overkill.

MSR Hubba hubba nx, or Mother Hubba nx. Light (especially split between two). Not cheap, but not ridiculous expensive either.

+1 on the MSR Hubba Hubba. Been researching this for quite a while and if comfort, accessibility and weight are your priorities, this is the one. Missed out on the sale at Blacks and could have got it for 273 through Quidco.

Hmmm... I think that Hubba Hubba was the tent I was thinking of...
My price range is probably about £200 or so. Not looking to spend too much more...
Has anyone used the Alpkit tent?

The only thing that puts me off is the colour! I wouldn't mind a green one so it's less conspicuous!
