Product Information

HELVELLYN: Vango Protex® 70 denier polyester flysheet, 3000mm HH - Highly waterproof, durable and reliable fabric. Exclusive to Vango The Vango Banshee has a flysheet, an inner sheet and two poles, plus pegs. It’s fairly light but that depends on how far you want to carry your tent! I’ve never tried with a second person but wouldn’t fancy it. Can two people sleep in the Vango Banshee 200? Halvellyn:- Vango Protex® 70 denier polyester flysheet, 3000mm HH [maybe a cheaper PU coating? or maybe they are just the same... I tend not to give HH values too much importance]

I would like to know what's the difference between the current models of Hydra 200 and Helvellyn 200, because they look similar if not identical. I can only see the Helvellyn doesn't come with the porch groundsheet. HYDRA: Protex® 70D 5,000mm HH Polyester Flysheet - highly waterproof and durable fabric exclusive to Vango Wild camping in Loch Lomond and the Trossachs requires a permit at certain times of year(March to September).

The tent would be suitable for an adult and child combo. Vango Protex® 70 hojas de poliéster denier, 3000mm HH - Tejido altamente impermeable, duradero y confiable.From reviewing the tent online, the dimensions are slightly different, although the weight is identical, there aren’t any differences in the size of the tent, other than the colour of the lining which is now grey and there’s a new opening vent. Multifunctionele tentdeur – kan van beide kanten worden geopend en volledig opgerold worden voor een vrije doorgang.

For my recent Jurassic Coast multi-day hike I swapped my Vango Banshee for a smaller and lighter 1-person tent.But in 2017, I was made redundant from my full-time job and the Vango Banshee 200 came out of hibernation! I went on a road trip around the UK visiting all 15 National Parks (and camping too). What would have been appropriate would have been to take the Helvellyn 200 up Helvellyn. But that’s what you’d expect us to do, so we took it on a trip to the Yorkshire Dales over the August bank holiday weekend instead. Maybe they are the same fabric but with a different treatment that gives the different HH? Or maybe they are the same and it's just a typo?

I took mine on one and two-day camping trips but I wouldn’t fancy taking the Banshee on a long-distance, multi-day hike.

How we tested it

The thing is, they now sell SEVERAL updated models of it... things are getting very confusing, so I thought to ask directly in a uk where someone may be more informed about this scottish company hopefully Although there are better tents you can buy, for the price of the Vango, it’s a great first tent for wild camping trips. The Banshee is also the recommended tent for Duke of Edinburgh expeditions, which is why you’ll see so many of them about!
