Vango Banshee 200?

Hello Flock,


Has anyone any experiance of the above? Looks pretty good as a summer 1 man light wieght jobbie, and at good money too.

I like Vango stuff but it seems they are making more and more cheap cow ploppings nowadays

Re: Vango Banshee 200?

Yes got one like it, light, billed as 2 man but better as a one man, well made Vango seem to be turning out some good tents at the mo and the quality is there as well.

Mines the 2009 version which you can pick up cheaper as it pitches inner first unlike the 2010 model which is outer first or all in one the only difference in appearance is the logo.

I use mine all year round and have had no problems here's some links to blog's with it in.

Rather small as the stig says, better now flysheet first, look at tempest 200 or even better the 300 for canoe camping.

But a bit more expensive, I have had quality issues with most of the 6 vango's I have bought over the last 3 years.

Use these for DofE kids and myself so well tested.
