INCREDIBLY RELIABLE, DURABLE TENT
I have had my Vango Force 10 Mk 5 for nearly 30 years and I have used it for at least 14 nights, and at most three months, for every single year since I was 16. It has withstood gales (Fastnet, 1979, October 1987), hot sun and countless storms. I have used it on countless cyling holidays (it breaks down nicely between three people), with the Scouts and on family holidays.
It goes on foreever so you do't have the fun of buying new tents. It's too heavy for cycling, but great for taking biking, canoeing or sailing.
This seems like an expensive product, but in terms of , its robustness, reliability and performance its truly value for money, the best £60 (1975 price) I have ever spent.
