I'm on a strict budget to acquire some gear before a 6 day hike. I've been looking for 1 person, 3 seasons tents the past 3 or 4 weeks under the $200 mark and came across 2 potential condidates:
Neutrino 1

Vango Blade 100

If anyone has used these (or perhaps both!) can you provide some advice, pros and cons about each, or maybe some other tent in that price range I have not come across. I'm a bit hesitant to go down the path of one of the Naturehike or Hillman tents from AliExpress but any advice from people who have used one of those would be appreciated, too!
I'm expecting lots of wind and rain on my walk, so I'd like to know specifically if they can handle that over 5 or 6 nights. I'd love to buy a 'forever tent' but with limited funds, that will have to wait for another time.
Cheers,
Joel
