Just finished testing 3 season 2 man tents for ABR's sister magazine Adventure Travel magazine, and there was one tent that really stood out, the Hilleberg Kaitum 2 GT. Over the years Hilleberg has earned a reputation as a top tent manufacturer, and the Katium 2 GT is an absolutely fantastic tent. It's got two porches, one of which is big enough to have a party in, and the inner is more than big enough for two people. It's been made using top quality components, and for its size it's very light and packable. That said, you're going to be blown away by the price: £795 for the Katium 2 GT :huh: If you have the money spare though, it's worth a crack.

More realistically though, the Vango Hurricane 200 is another fantastic tent. It's slightly bulky when packed away, and heavier than a lot of other two man tents, but when it's up you'll be glad you bought it. The inner is huge with a nice high roof and wide floor, and the two porches are of decent size and would be more than big enough for your panniers/gear. There's also a neat hanging net on the inner which is more than useful. It retails at about £300 but you can find it much cheaper on line.
