'LOVING IT, LIGHT, EASY TO PITCH-GREAT FOR BACKPACKING!'
Strengths:
TBS system works well meaning its stable in most conditions, options to pitch as one or outer first is awesome, and i found it quite easy to pitch, espec with colour coded poles etc. Really good value for money too (i got it for bargin price of £100).
Weaknesses:
i found the clips to attach the outer and inner together rather fiddly, granted i have dodgy thumbs, but still thought they could be easier, only a minor niggle mind! smug for two, but plently of length.
Overall:
This is a great tent, especially if you can get it at a bargin price like me, its stable, easy to pitch and looks good too!!

'GOOD MID RANGE BACKPACKING TENT'
Strengths:
Reasonably lightweight, not too draughty, loads of adjustments for good stability even in high wind. Great price for a quality tent.
Weaknesses:
Groundsheet could be a little stronger, I always feel I have to place another sheet underneath it. Don't understand why vango don't do a proper footprint groundsheet protector like other manufacturers????
Overall:
Aside from my worries about the groundsheet, this has been a faithfull companion on many a trip and has stood up to some fierce wind, rain and some snow in the lakes, cairngorms and black mountains. I got a real bargain and paid £125 for a Red 2004 model late last year. Most definitely a great buy. My friend has just bought a new one and I can't really see how its been changed since then.
