I like that tent Smug, similar layout to the Nammatj 2gt but with the added benefit of an opening either side, useful when the wind changes.
I have the older inner pitch version of this called the Lightwave T2 Trek XT

The new T20 Trail can be pitched anyway you like!
My mate has the G20 Trek XT, but we both agree the tunnel is the better tent.
Great tents, and nothing comes with a stronger floor than Lightwave.
Can that be assembled in the pouring rain without getting the inner wet ? It looks like the poles are integral to the inner design .
Gave in and ordered from Taunton Leisure
I have just got a Staika from Open Air Cambridge with a 15% discount and footprint.
Took it up the field last night and put it up as it was getting dark.
230cm long and 105cm high, I can sit bolt upright in it.
It all seems a bit weird with everything at funny angles after so many years in tunnel tents. But after a few stormy Islay nights on sandy/stoney ground, I decided I needed a freestanding tent for those tricky pitches.
When you actually narrow it down & eliminate the poofy beach shelters, there really isn't much choice.
Fjallraven Keb Dome looked okay, but at near Hilleberg money. Other than that it's the Allak, Staika or Soulo unless you want to go inner first or flimsy.
. Any preference in pole order … I instinctively put the crossover (white sleeve I think) last and highest?
