Vango has decades of experience creating tents for campers who need gear that performs in the field. Their backpacking tents are made to withstand unpredictable UK weather while keeping weight to a minimum. Whether you’re wild camping in the hills or spending a few nights on a long-distance trail, Vango’s designs balance durability, pack size, and comfort.
Most Vango backpacking tents use lightweight fibreglass or alloy poles and high-quality fabrics such as ProTex 70D canvas (3000HH), Protex Eco 68D (3000HH) or Protex 15.SRN Fabric. These materials deliver impressive strength without adding unnecessary weight.
Models like the Nevis, Scafell, and Helvellyn pack down small enough to fit easily into a rucksack, making them ideal for solo or DofE expeditions. Despite their compact size, they maintain good internal space and ventilation.
Each Vango backpacking tent is fully waterproof with taped seams and a high hydrostatic head rating. The flysheet and groundsheet are designed to withstand sustained rain and wind, offering reliable shelter wherever you pitch.
Vango integrates ventilation panels and breathable inner fabrics to reduce condensation and maintain comfort inside the tent.
All backpacking models are designed to pitch quickly, often using Vango’s inner-first or all-in-one pitching systems. Many include the brand’s TBS® II Tension Band System for additional stability on uneven ground or in exposed areas.
