About this product
The Vango Orion 200 is a two-person tunnel tent that offers an excellent balance between space and weight. Its unique design allows for quick setup by pitching the flysheet first or setting up all-in-one for convenience. The high water resistance comes from its ProTex 70D 5000mm hexagonal polyester flysheet, complemented by a lightweight 70D polyester 6000mm groundsheet and PowerLite 7001-T6 alloy poles, making it ideal for wild camping and multi-day backpacking adventures. The TBSII tension band system ensures the tent performs well in adverse conditions, adding to its reliability.
This tunnel structure provides optimum space to weight ratio, making it a practical choice for those who need efficient gear for their trips. A removable porch groundsheet adds a clean, dry storage area for boots and equipment but comes with the trade-off of increased setup complexity. While this tent is highly functional, it’s worth noting that no rainfly is included, which might be necessary in certain weather conditions.
Overall, the Vango Orion 200 is well-suited for campers seeking a lightweight, reliable tent for their backpacking adventures or climbing trips. However, users should consider the extra steps required for setting up and packing away due to its unique design elements.
