LOVING IT, LIGHT, EASY TO PITCH-GREAT FOR BACKPACKING!

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).
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.
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

Reasonably lightweight, not too draughty, loads of adjustments for good stability even in high wind. Great price for a quality tent.
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????
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.
