Vango TBS Spirit two man tent
Weight 2.6kg. Pack size 52x16cm £250.00
This is a good quality four-season tent (non-high altitude) lightweight tunnel tent but with some niggling features. They've added a clever internal tension band for added rigidity and strength, good for adverse conditions, and for its weight and pack size it offers generous space for two with a cavernous porch area and plenty of internal pockets and hoops. BUT the poles have annoying ends, which keep dropping out. The pre-attached inner and outer were fiddly to sort out, although the colour-coded poles were a huge help. The stuff sack is on the small side (if wet and your hands cold, repacking could be a nightmare). It would be a great bonus if the porch had a groundsheet.
Length 205cm (plus 95cm for porch), width 130cm, height 96cm.
