I've always said the 200 is for 1 person and the 300 is a cosy 2 person tent, I hike and do most of my camping in Scotland and you definitely don't want to be leaving your stuff out in the vestibule, if it will even fit. These tents are pretty good, had one last for about 3 years granted I did re proof the tent about 20 times but that's what happens if you go camping and a storm rolls in which is quite often in Scotland.
This is an old video but thought I'd comment as I bought a 200 recently. Even in 2023 the 200 is often still regarded as a highly recommended, " Hardcore" wild camping tent. That can be used British 4 seasons (providing its not being used in super heavy, snow). Its certainly stood the test of time and is a fantastic, durable, light tent. However, it's drawback is the length of it in combination to the aggressive slants of the inner walls. If you're around the 6 foot mark. The inner wall at the head end will literally be about an inch above your nose. If you're around 6 foot 2. You'll likely have the top of your head touching the inner wall, and nose. This can be negated slightly if you're using a bivvy on your sleeping bag, allowing your feet to press into the wall at the foot end. It's a real shame if you're around 6 foot 2, that you're unable to use the full length of the tent due to how aggressive the inner wall slants are. Overall, the 200 is definitely built for the " Average" height person and is undoubtedly only suitable for one person. Width wise its great, and can easily accommodate a broad person with a 80l back pack.
@Cuthbert Bracegirdle They can be compacted down in their bags to about 3 - 3.5 litres depending on what size you go for. The bag for the tent comes with compression straps to pack it away as small as you can get it, just don't leave the poles in the bag they will bend, and I'd remove the pegs aswell because they could puncture the tent when using the compression straps.
This is obviously an overview from a seller. The Vango Banshee is a tent that doesn't weight a lot but...its poles might snap after a few times pitching it. So, I would recommend everyone to watch more REAL reviews. Ty
bigearedmouse17 basically yes mate that's the best way too judge it a have the 300 for my self 6'4 my seven years old and Ower dog plenty of room but we also bought the gear store tarp for the side of the banshee store the bergen and kit also ideal for cooking when it's pishing down.
I know this is a old video. However the Robens Starlight, for the same money or less is far higher quality.. Vango excel in semi geodesic and fully geodesic at a budget.. The Nemesis and Hydra rock., with a few mods... Robens offer better ventilation solutions and inner tent quality... Still have no idea What Vango F10 is all about.. Apart from more money for the same product ??? Example Mirage pro.. F10 MTN.. Basically the same tent ????
You guys charge way to much for your products. You need to be much more competitive as this would boost sales. I clicked on the link in the description and you (Price on 22/3/16) charge £150 for the Banshee 300! Its So much cheaper at Go Outdoors and Cotswold!
+Dyfan Barlow You can afford to sell for less when buying in huge bulk like GO-Outdoors do, personally I'm fine spending the extra few quid to support smaller businesses.
