Currently using a V2 air and wrap for my cold/wet months fishing but am looking for something slightly bigger(internal height) with vents for the summer months.
I'm not doing anything longer than a 48/72hrs at a time and doesn't have to be a circus tent either lol.
So must have vents, not weigh a ton and not be stupidly priced.. 👍🏼

I've recently picked up a Hide Camo Pro (standard, not XL) and have been really surprised with the room and head height on offer. Obviously if you want more height, the XL is the way to go but certainly worth trying to see them both in the flesh first when you can.

But, generally speaking of the Hide, it's a great shelter. Material feels nice, blocks out the sun nicely, vents for warm days (not sure what they are though!), great space & coverage and quick to set up. And a small thing, but one I've found super handy - the little pockets are perfect for my phone, receiver & headtorch.

Cyprinus Typhoon MH, leave the infil and ground sheet out in the summer, has four large vents, 2 on rear and one on either side.

I agree. I have the MH. Superb in the winter and summer, vented all round.
