Vango Talas 200 Tunnel Tent [Amazon Exclusive] Easy To Pitch 2 Man Tent Waterproof for Adventure Camping, River Blue

The manufacturer states that this can be pitched in seven minutes, but it can quite easily be done in five with a few attempts. That doesn't detract from the quality though. At 6'2", I can comfortably (but just about) fit in this tent for a good night's sleep, unlike the Vango Soul 100, and still have room for my pack and other bits and peices. It wouldn't be so pleasant for two people, especially if they're bigger than average people!The pole/pin system is innovative and works. You may need to upgrade your pegs as the simple metal ones provided can slide out quite easily.It's sturdy in the wind and effectively keeps the rain out with minimal condensation issues. There is a small amount of room in the porch allowing for shoes and such.Very good product for the price and, at just over 2kg, won't break your back in the pack!

It's OK.but does have its falts. The inner tent is a bit saggy. For the sake of a few grams steal pegs would be better. The poles are likely to break as they are very very tight to get in position. Not easy to put up in a strong wind as the inner tent has to be tied to the poles before pegging the fly sheet. But as yet its been ok

I’ve just got home from 10 days camping in Scotland doing the NC500 with this tent. I bought it mid July and didn’t put it up until the 3rd August when I got to the Lake District on my way to Scotland.The first 3 nights I was singing its praises to my friends about how much I loved it and how great value it was. On the 4th time putting it up I heard a crack when putting the poles in and found some very thin cracks on one of the section of the pole holding the front of the tent. I covered the whole section in duct tape to reinforce it.Nearing the north coast by this point and wild camping at Dunnet head I had to keep using the tent, this time the pole holding the back of the tent cracked and again I reinforced with duct tape but the pole eventually snapped. I had to tape a knife to the pole to brace so I could still get the tent up on the last few days of my trip.A huge shame because everything else about the tent is fantastic. A good set of poles and I would recommend to anybody but had a bad experience this time.I don’t see any way of getting replacement poles or the whole tent as I didn’t put the tent up until the rerun window had already closed.

Bought the 2 man version for reading festival. I'm not sure how they can say it fits two people, two baby ewoks with growth disorders maybe. There was just about room for me as a 6'1 guy and using my bag as a pillow. Not sure the dimensions of it but it's small and the roof is quite low. I couldn't sit up properly without my head getting wet.Previous reviews state the poles splinter easy - I agree. When you push the poles through it really feels like they are too long. You have to put a lot of tension onto the poles to get them to fit. Mine splintered after putting them in.It survived the weekend but went straight in the bin Monday morning.I wouldn't recommend it as a festival tent, or a tent at all even. Only good point is it has a porch area to store beer.

Brilliant little tent we weren't even set up fully for our four days away when the rain started. We got absolutely soaked as the weather switched between hail stone or driving rain in gusting wind. The next morning the site was a bog but inside the tent was bone dry no leaks at all. The tent didn't even move in the wind. I highly recommend this tent as quick and easy to set up. And thoroughly tested on it's first outing. The tent packs away really well small and light. Great as a one man with plenty of kit or two man when travelling light. Front porch is just a nice size to keep your boots out of the tent.

This is a good tent to use on your own. Has not let rain in, nor get damp inside from ground/breathing. The packing size is good when in backpack. I find it really cramped if you have two people inside, especially if backpacks are in with you. So make sure you really like your tent buddy!!!!

Unfortunately, the second time using this tent both poles snapped. I’m not happy with this. Vango tents are usually good quality but this tent was not up to standard.

This looked ideal for my son's DofE expedition - lightweight with plenty of room and a shelter outside for the kit. However, exactly as the previous reviewer said, I was dubious about one of the poles when we unpacked it. It was grey at the end rather than black and my son immediately asked me if I thought it looked OK. You have to bend straight poles into an arch under extreme tension to pitch this tent. The first short pole went in with some difficulty (and feeling like I didn't want to bend it any more) but the second snapped almost before we had started to bend it, exactly where we had thought it looked a bit weak. The pole is quite long and took no pressure at all. Even if we had managed to pitch this in the garden with no wind, I would have extreme doubts about teenage boys trying to do it on their own as it really was difficult to get the first pole in. Also, I'm not sure I would trust it for pitching more than once because such strain is put on the flimsy poles. They are bound to weaken every time you put it up. Avoid!!
