Vango Hydra Trekking Tent, Pine , 200

Product Information

HELVELLYN: Vango Protex® 70 denier polyester flysheet, 3000mm HH - Highly waterproof, durable and reliable fabric. In regard to tents, Vango offers popular camping tents for summer holidays and a range of lighter, compact trekking tents. They’re lightweight and strong, and we liked how the front pole has a pointed middle to give the tent a gothic arch shape. it's a bit on the heavy side, but boy is it strong - I sat out a couple of gales in this and it was stalwart.

Vango Fibreglass Pole Sets are tough, durable fibreglass poles which are guaranteed to be dependable in most weather conditions. Some tents are more prone than others - not sure about the hydra fabric but if in doubt, pick up a tin of the Granger's Fabsil with UV proof in, that'll sort it! Once up it is rock solid with very little distortion even in Scottish winter gusts of 60 mph+ (90 - 100 km/hr).

Think brass dials, valves, steam, airships, top hats, waist coats, pocket watches, aviator or welder type goggles, then give the whole thing a science fiction and alchemical twist. There are air vents on the side and rear of the fly but there certainly are more breathable three-season tents out there.

But overall, its internal space, weatherproofing, ease of erection, and value make the Helvellyn 200 quite a compelling case. It’s compact enough when packed away (46 x 16cm is accurate), but its trail weight is just shy of 2. I'm particularly oriented towards semi-geodesic structures, which I expect to have a better wind resistance. As is the case with almost any brand these days, Vango says it’s on a ‘mission’ to achieve a sustainable future.Through repairing and recycling, we aim to minimise our carbon footprint and the impact we have on the environment. That’s not a bad thing, it means we cherish them, care for them, they're great to use and last a long time. As such, its three-pole, semi-geodesic design is supposed to be stable and stoic even in tempestuous weather.
