Vango Helvellyn 200 Tent RRP £185

Product Information

Firstly this tent is new for 2018. I have owned Vango tents in the past and this new model is definitely improved into terms of materials and construction. The aluminium poles provided are lightweight, strong and snap together really well. They also slot through the tent very easily. The pegs provided are a huge improvement - they have pointed ends and are just a more substantial feel when held. I haven’t had a problem with any bending on me yet! In terms of construction, the tent has a 3000mm HH with fully taped seams. I camped for 36 hours through a storm in Snowdonia and this tent kept solid and kept me dry! The porch area is adequately sized to ensure safe storage of gear etc but this section does not have a sewn in groundsheet. The sleeping area consists of an inner tent and 5000mm HH sewn in groundsheet. This inner tent section is good, spacious for one but cozy for 2, well ventilated and leaves a good 6 inches between the sides of the inner tent and the outer flysheet. Half geodetisch - zelfdragende constructie voor een uitstekende verhouding tussen gewicht en stabiliteit. The Vango Helvellyn 200 2-man tent has a semi-geodesic construction, meaning it can handle the roughest terrain thanks to its rigidity and self-supporting structure, ideal for year-round adventures. The Helvellyn has a great strength to weight ratio and multi-functional porch with various options to ensure shelter. It also has inner door vents to ensure airflow throughout whilst keeping out the bugs and is ideal for trips into the wild. A great option for those forging their path in the wilderness for the first time.

Uhm, that is true, but you read the width at the feet, which is probably not so important... here is how I have summerized things considering the inner width at the widest point: 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.

Packing and pitching

I know it’s not as big as some of those house-sized tents that you get but depending on your location it can sometimes be a challenge to find somewhere to pitch up. This has only happened once or twice though.

When buying a tent the number (200) will usually relate to how many people it is meant for, for example, 200 = 2-person tent.

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?
