Vango Atlas 200 Dome Tent

For the price, I highly recommend this tent.Easy to assemble, this took me 15 minutes, thought I would allow longer if this is your first time putting up a tent.Features double zippers allowing you to open/close doors and vents from within and out.The ground mat, though not the best, is certainly suitable. As with any ground mat, do ensure the ground is free from sharp objects such as stonesThe roof ventilation panels are a nice feature and include a mesh to keep the creepy crawlies out.Each door (there is one either side) has a separate zip down 'window' to allow for further ventilation.The rods are made metal: light weight and durableI use two person tents for single occupancy as I like to have elbow room and purchased this tent with this in mind. There's plenty of free space for storage as a single occupant with two storage pockets either end and a triangular pocket in one corner at either end, which appear (there are no instructions to indicate otherwise) for additional storage.At the apex inside is a small suspended clip for hanging a lantern.Comes complete with a zipped storage bag that has two clips to prevent unnecessary tension against the zipper.All delivered within quoted time scale in suitable packaging.A great tent for a good price. I would recommend this to others.Update Jan 19. I bought a Coleman 2 man done tent last year, where a second tent was needed. While both this and the Coleman are comparable, I've returned to this tent. Why? Unlike the Coleman, it's designed with the camper in mind and build quality is superior.

It is difficult to get any better in this price category. This tent is small for two people but for one person with lots of gear it is very good. I appreciate the black/treetops color scheme and the curvy shape, as it blends into the surroundings and is difficult to notice by others who want to enjoy the view without any orange, yellow or red spots sticking out, or if you just don't want any unnecessary attention.The pegs that come with this tent are on the heavier side for me personally, as I count fanatically the grams I put into my backpack, so I replaced them with lighter and smaller ones. Also you need at least 12 pegs, instead on 10 that come with the tent. But it is not a necessity, you can manage with 10, but the extra pegs give more options to really explore the tent space.The packed size of the tent is pleasantly small and can be carried in any small backpack.The tent can be assembled in about 10 minutes when alone, the first couple of times may be slower, naturally, but it seems for me 10 minutes is the minimum time.Overall a strong product for this money or a good tent to start with as a newbie backpacker.

Great tent for the money. Perfect for one person and kit. I'm 6'1 and I just fitted, if you are any taller than that I think you might struggle. Easy to pitch but as others have said you really need a couple more pegs. Used it for a long weekend in October and got a lot of rain the second day and night and everything stayed bone dry inside. My final comment, and the reason I knocked off a star, is I'm not sure how long it will last. The fly sheet is attached to inner poles by very flimsy Velcro tabs and the inner tent simply ties to the poles using some strips of fabric. The stitching again doesn't feel very sturdy. All good for one weekend but certainly does not have a premium feel, I suppose you get what you pay for.

Note - Changed my review from 1 star to 4 stars. Fair play to Amazon. I complained on the Friday and received a new tent on the Sunday. Have sent the other one back, Amazon took care of the postage. Can't really ask them to do more than that. Not 5 stars though because of the problem with the original.I am very unhappy with this product. The tent itself seems to be good quality and it arrived as expected but when I have unpacked everything and taken the poles out of the bag the string on one of the poles has come undone and all the bits have come apart. I can't retie the string because it is elastic and I can't get it back in to the poles to fix it.I was supposed to be going on a week long camping trip next week but I guess I will have to cancel as I don't have a working tent or the money to buy a second tent. I will be returning this item.

I've been on two camping trips in the last month since buying this tent and on the first occasion experienced very heavy rain; it passed that test with flying colours as I stayed dry and so did my kit. It's easy to pitch ( although 7 minutes is optimistic, it takes me about ten) but it is recommended to purchase at least four additional pegs as others have mentioned. I used it as a single tent and it was roomy enough for a campbed but couples might find it cosy. The dual entry came in handy for storing boots, cooking kit and logs for the fire. I would have given it five stars but decided upon four as the porch groundsheet could cover the whole entrance and they should give you at least four more pegs. Other than that it has proved to be an excellent purchase.

This little tent did fantastic during the West Highland Way. The winds were around 40mph all night, and pouring rain, yet the little tent kept chugging on and kept my friend and I dry.It is a wee bit too small for 2 people, unless you are on a level of friendship that is comfortable enough to cuddle all night. We stuck outlet bags at the bottom by our feet, but were rather cramped with that. Luckily, I like to sleep in a ball.It sets up rather quickly (took 2 people maybe 10 minutes of distracted setting).I enjoyed the little pockets inside that I could stick my phone and candy wrappers in.It will be coming with me for a month long backpacking trip around Ireland, which will let it show off its amazing waterproof/wind proof skills yet again.
