Vango A Tent For All Seasons

For those who take their camping seriously, nothing beats Vango tents

. Theyre recommended by the Duke of Edinburgh award scheme as essential kit, but theyre equally suited to novice campers, festival goers and family camping trips. So what makes Vango tents so popular?

Firstly, Vango has four decades of experience in innovative tent design. All along, they have been at the forefront of camping research, with things like their patented TBS (tension banding system) to add superior stability and wind-resistance to even the most kite-like of tunnel tents. In addition, Vango tents are lightweight, roomy and affordable all top scoring points for families looking for ways to have a quality holiday in the great outdoors.

Vango truly does make tents for all seasons and for all environments. If youre planning a festival trip, they have a stunning selection of tepee styles that are ideal for festival-goers of all ages. One is modelled on the exact Native American design, and is guaranteed to stand out on a packed campsite. Besides their stand-out visual appeal, tepees have a practical purpose too: the unique shape means theres plenty of head height, but no wasted heat. Plus, theyre fun to decorate a great way of keeping kids amused while you relax.

Vango uses the latest tunnel designs on their family tents but theyve kept a close eye on the modular market too. For example, the Vango Colorado is one of the few traditional pod designs left on the camping scene and as popular as ever. Maybe this is because everyone gets their own sleeping area, in a zone thats well away from noisy snorers or annoying brothers and sisters. Pod or modular-design tents have largely been usurped by tunnel tents, which are easier to erect and offer integrated bedrooms within the main enclave. While this makes the tent light and user friendly, and the bedrooms warmer, many still prefer the privacy and seclusion that modular designs offer.

Tunnel tents became a necessity as tent sizes became ever larger, in response to the growing popularity of family and group camping holidays. Many of the huge, dome-style tents were simply too big for the campsites they were on. Tunnel tents, where the bedrooms are internal rather than attached as pods, have largely solved this problem, without sacrificing living space. However, there are Vango tents that incorporate the best features of both concepts. Their Salonga tent, for example, has a tunnel construction but separated-out bedrooms, giving one or more members of the group their own space without affecting the streamlined structure. The addition of a porch adds a further dimension and makes the tent more resistant in a gale.

Vango has entered the 21st century of family camping with its range of technical family tents. The Nevis, for example, is modelled on the popular Tigris model and incorporates Vangos unique tension band system, but incorporates lightweight alloy poles, a higher hydrostatic head and a larger living area.

We at Outdoor World Direct stock a full range of ultra-light Vango tents, from one-man low-slung expedition tents, to the latest Technical range which comfortably house four or more people under as little as 14 kg of poles and fabric.
