Vango Spirit Mountain Tent
RRP £200
“For such a lightweight tent, the TBS Spirit is wonderfully wind and weather proof due to it’s sound frame and tensioned outer layer.” SINGLETRAK MAGAZINE
The Tent Strengths:
Tent flysheet and inner errect simultaneously making pitching much quicker.
Light weight and small pack size varying in the three models.
Big porch and loads of room to keep rucksack and other goods.
Build quality – ripstop and high quality groundsheets.
Top notch in bad weather conditions.
The Tent Weaknesses:
If your tall then you may struggle to completely lie flat in the tent. The inner tent slopes upwards at a shallow angle at the foot end and is just too low wherer your feet lie. Its a shame that the inner tent is small considering the overall length of the tent.
Footprint which you have to buy seperately is expensive, however it is a full footprint. Alternatively you can just buy a seperate grounsheet.
Inner tent fabric could do with reinforcement where the stitching for the inside pockets is.
