Ripstop Nylon 6 Groundsheet - 70 Denier Nylon Fabric is a great balance between low weight and high durability, waterproof to 6,000mm HH Ventilate your tent!: The most effective way to prevent condensation is to ventilate your tent and reduce the internal humidity of your tent by promoting a good airflow. Examine your tent for low and high venting options and open them to let the moist air flow out. If the weather conditions permit, leave the upper and lower sections of the door open, mesh sections can be kept fully zipped. If appropriate, also ensure vents at the rear of the tent are fully open. Make sure the vents are not obstructed by bags or sleeping bodies.

iso5912 - All Vango tents are designed to the stringent international standards of ISO5912, which specifies requirements on safety, performance, rain resistance and fitness for use. This one person tent features a cleverly-designed, hub-connected, all-in-one skeletal pole, which forms the main structure. A smaller transverse pole then slots across the apex of this structure stretching out the peak to maximise headroom. The freestanding inner, which is pitched first, clips tightly to this skeletal pole – and the result is a shelter with near-vertical walls and maximum head and elbow room. A decent-sized side porch and minimally-tapered floor add to the sense of spaciousness. Full Specifications Poled tents: An outstanding range of well featured, reliable poled tents available in three ranges. We supply tents from their Experience range. Part-mesh inner door and high flysheet vents help to reduce condensation by providing a through-flow of air, and a gear loft stores all your essentials. The ultra-lightweight Xenon UL 2 utilises gothic arch poles combined with TBS®PRO to create a solid, easy-to-pitch tunnel tent. The 2+ comes with an extra-large porch for storing your equipment.Main and Secondary Door - Provides kit storage and easy entry from either side for protection from prevailing winds Durch das vorgebogene Getsänge ergibt sich eine bessere Raumnutzung als mit einem standartisiertem Gestänge.

Like all of the products that Vaude manufactures, the Taurus SUL tent is completely PVC-free and instead, uses waterproof tent fabrics made from triple silicone coated nylon which is siliconised on both sides. This gives it high UV reflection and increased tear resistance, ensuring sustainability through longevity without resorting to more harmful treatments. The name ‘super bivy’ is a spot-on description of this. Big Sky have come up with a shelter that you could arguably say comes with all of the benefits of a bivy bag without the claustrophobic downsides. It’s very similar in design to the Six Moon Designs Wisp Bivy – also reviewed here, only it has an extra mini pole and it’s a bit lighter, presumably because it doesn’t have the mesh vents along the base that the SMD Lunar Solo has.

In conclusion I’m very happy with my Helium 100 and I definitely don’t regret buying it. I think Force Ten (Vango) have done a very good job in producing a great tent with such a great price tag. I’d definitely recommend one. The F10 Series has been made specifically for the most audacious outdoor adventurers; for those who push human endurance to breaking point; for those who make decisions fuelled by pure adrenaline; for those with the hunger to achieve the impossible. Thanks to hydro-barrier down insulation coupled with our durable polair® enduro shell, the vulcan sleeping bag is essential for extreme expeditions. sleep safe in the knowledge that these bags can keep you warm in conditions of up to -38°c.
