Our ratings (out of 10)
1 to 10, compared with the whole market. Each says what it's based on. How we score
Weight
From maker's figures 6/10How much it adds to your pack. This is the whole tent: two people sharing can split it. 6: A bit better than average.
Vango's trail weight is 1.7 kg (1.9 kg packed), in the 1.5–1.99 kg band.
Rain protection
From maker's figures 8/10How well it keeps out heavy, long rain. 8: Clearly better than most.
Fly 3,000 mm is in the 3,000 mm+ band, and the 6,000 mm floor is over 2,000 mm so nothing is taken off. The printed figure alone gives 8 at most: a 9 or 10 needs 3 reviews that say it stays dry in real storms.
Wind
Estimate from maker's specs: maker's season rating (fewer than 3 reviews about wind) 5/10How steady it stays in strong wind on open ground. 5: Does the job. Average for wild-camping gear.
No published review says how it copes with wind, so this is an estimate from the maker's season rating.
Space
From maker's figures 7/10Room to lie, sit up and keep kit inside. 7: Better than most.
Bergfreunde gives an interior of 215 x 130 cm: 2.15 x 1.30 = 2.795 m² (2.8 m², a straight rectangle), so about 1.40 m² each for two, in the 1.35–1.59 band. Vango's own page gives no floor size.
Packed size
From maker's figures 8/10How much room it takes in your rucksack. 8: Clearly better than most.
Vango gives 33 cm long x 13 cm across: 3.1416 x 6.5 x 6.5 x 33 = 4,380 cm³, so 4.38 L, in the 4–6.9 L band.
In short
Good for
- Two backpackers who want a packable tent with two doors and two porches
- Open, windy ground: the fly sits low and a tension band system braces the poles
- Wild camps where a 1.7 kg tent can be split between two
Strengths
- 1.7 kg trail weight for two people, and it packs to 33 x 13 cm (4.38 L)
- Two doors and two porches, so neither person climbs over the other
- Fly rated 3,000 mm and floor 6,000 mm, with a floor that rises 10 cm up the inner
- Low fly that reaches near the ground to cut splashback, with a tension band system and Dyneema guylines
- Can be pitched fly-first as a simple shelter
Weaknesses
- Only Bergfreunde publishes an interior size (215 x 130 cm), and it gives a straight rectangle, so the real floor may be smaller
- Semi-freestanding: it needs pegs for the porches and to stay taut
- No independent review we could verify, so wind, pitching and durability are estimates, not reviewed scores
- The 15D fly has no long-term durability report
