I know the fly was under tension and the build up of snow had a bit of weight to it but even so,I've had the fibreglass style poled tents that have performed better. They are very stable and the two exits are handy, not for carrying though unless you have 4 DofEs to do it for you.

Condensation was a problem with 1 person on a cold night in mid april, but fine with 2 people in July. weemistermac wrote:For my budget, I've narrowed down my list of preferred 2 man (1 man, 1 labrador) tents to the Vango Tempest 200 and the North Ridge Torre and Sphinx models.

I would happily not put myself in that position again - but when I really needed it, this tent didn't let us down. Air temperature in the tent can become warm and humid from people, heaters, and a lack of ventilation.

Tent can be easily divided to allow several people to carry it, making it a firm favourite with youth groups and DofE. I use Halo 400s for my DofE group and they would be snug for 4 adults, I'd go for one of these it will only cost a few bob more than a 300 and give you a bit more room. Never cook inside: Primarily for safety but cooking also releases large amounts of moisture into the air.

Vango Tempest 300 Tent Reviews and Details - The UK Camp Site

We have camped on top of the highest mountains in England in both summer and winter, and even when there has not been a suitably sheltered place to camp, this tent has still taken all that the weather could throw at it. Wiping the walls with a towel or cloth is a good way to remove condensation from the surface and stop any drips. Considering the situations we were putting ourselves in, and the unpredictable weather at high altitude, I was looking for the best lightweight tent for severe conditions (which I could afford! For 2014, the flysheet door has been updated to provide greater porch area for gear storage or cooking.I just wish Vango would consider that sometimes due to the gradient of the ground, you might want to sleep with your head at the far end, and so an additional hook for the lamp at that end would be good, rather than the singular one near the inner door, as no one wants to clamber back out of their toasty sleeping bag to switch off the lamp! On days where there is a substantial temperature drop, it can be challenging to prevent tent condensation forming. It packs down to a manageable size as well and the bag it comes in means you can squeeze all the air out. Mildew / mould is caused by putting tents away wet and one of the biggest causes for tents degrading.
