The Vitesse looks like it could be a good alternative to a tarp for UK use.

Like the 'avatar' face picture thing LotC

Sorry .... oh yes very Vango, but I dare say they well have some appeal at that weight.

hi there i have the force ten nitro 100 just used it for my john ogroats lands end bike ride

im 5 10 and found it a little short on the inner tent  but apart from that great little tent stood up to horrendous rain 

easy to put up as inner tent its attached to outer so takes mins to get it up

would recomend it to anyone who wants a easy to put up tent

Someone above said "very vango-esque"...are they not just rebranding vango tents as force ten?

 The Nitro 200+ looks very much identical to my Vango Spirit 200+

To a certain extent it is rebranding but the main differences are the quality of materials in use. For instance the flysheet goes up by 10D, the overall weight will drop and the Hydrostatic head improves to 5000mm from 3000mm for F10 tents. Having said that I prefer the look of the vango spirit to the nitro, it just looks more sleek and solid, the 100g weight loss is due to shortening the pole sleeves which are integral to tunned strength.

I think it's a vertical market differentiation, similar to the WildCountry/Terra Nova.

I notice that Springfield camping are seeling the Helium 100 for £160, cf rrp £170.  Seems good value for a 900g solo tent.
