TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

Since the shift from Goretex, not having a need for so much Techwash, iv'e been sourcing 5L at a time/ as needed, from Millets: https://www.millets.co.uk/
Thought their store may be worth sharing. No affiliation, kickbacks or trade discounts they just have great customer service, reasonable shipping and some good prices for the more 'entry level' of solid brands (currently have one of their berghaus tents for a squizz).

If it's the Peak 3.2 model(?) I'd look elsewhere for yourself(?). The weight is ok, the material and build quality look fine, but you wont be sitting up if over 160cm. The sleeping room/length looks ok.. for one big person. For anyone else (not tall) it may be better than many cheap options in the wind ie. 3+ seasons. The poles are no-brand and i'd probably swap the pegs. The guylines are cheap and could be re-positioned better. It also has two seams either side of the roof arch, appears they and the inner liner attachments manage to pull a flat spot in the roof. If not for use in snowy conditions it would have been served better with a low vent at the foot, the liner is light material but there wont be a lot of ventilation from their little roof level rear vent.
