VANGO Helix 100 One Person Tent, Green, One Size

Product Information

Another point to note is that the tensioners will not damage the fly when in storage, like some other types do, because there are no sharp edges on the moulded plastic.

I would recomend the tent happily, you will see bigger tents at over 3 kgs and smaller tents which ressemble a bivvy with a twig. The ProTex RS is a lightweight and extra strong outer that will protect you from the harshest outdoor environment. It features the highest waterproofing, strong polyester fabric, a ripstop weave, and it even meets ISO5912 fire retardant standards.

FAQ's

Over the years, I’ve pitched hundreds of tents and it’s the speed at which you can make your home for the night that is the most important. I liked that the Helix 200 was a straightforward tent to put up and easy to trim and tighten down. The TBSII Tension Band System works to provide stability in adverse weather and the single Yunan Eco Alloy Pole is extremely high quality and is made with an acid free processing. This pole also has an ID, so you can easily source a replacement if you ever needed too. There are lighter and stronger pegs out there, and if weight matters, you might just save a few grams, but you will pay extra for these. Otherwise, those supplied do the job well. Another sign of the quality is that even with a minimum of ventilation the inner was not troubled with condensation. The short fly is a feature on many American tents, European tents do tend to be designed with bad weather protection as a higher priority than ventilation.

Also the spitfires fly does not come that close to ground for ventilation but is no problem when iot rains. The flysheet is made from Vango's own Protex RS polyester fabric, a lightweight, tough, fully waterproof fabric with the highest hydrostatic head rating in Vango's range, 5000mm. Every seam is fully taped, and a ripstop weave ensures durability if you happen to catch the fabric on a branch, bramble or zip. The benefit of the polyester content in Proflex is that unlike nylon which will degrade when left in harsh sunlight for extended periods of time, Polyester will resist it for far longer. This allows it to be used on longer trips without as much concern for UV degradation. When pitched on a flat surface the Helix is easy to trim and tighten down. The Line Lok® guy tensioners work well and hold fast, although I did find them a bit annoying to work at first.
