Hi,

I'm looking to buy either a Robens Osprey 2EX or Nordisk Oppland 2 SI.

I need a decent 2/3 man tent with porch to chuck my bike in.

The Robens has a better HH rating at 4000 Vs the 3000 of the Nordisk. And the wind rating on the Robens looks favourable too.

Here's what I'm looking at:

Which would you chose and why?

Thanks,

Why does the bike need to be inside?
We tour alot,on a tandem so can’t have the bike inside even if we wanted to.
Another question,why do you want a tunnel tent,you limit your pitching,no concrete floors etc.
This year we are ditching our very tatty and worn MSR Hubba Hubba for an Exped Orion 3.
After a knackering ride I can't be arsed to take the wheels off and store it in the car straight away, especially when it's raining. I'd rather stick it under the porch for a bit until I'm ready to put it in the car. Plus it's handy to store crap you don't want in the inner tent.

No other tent design has a porch big enough for this so I'm limited to a tunnel.

I don't tend to pitch in inner city areas or car parks, so not being able to pitch in concrete.
