So I have just purchased this from Vango. It’s about a 15 minute pitch on your own. Pros 1. fitted in the bag after folding up. 2. Good quality pegs 3. Can strike inner first if raining. 4. Sealed seams 5. Ok colour. 6. Day glow guys. 7. PU ground sheet which is rip stop so wet shouldn’t come up with a bath tub design. 8. I can stand up in it - I’m 5’ 4” and will comfortably fit two camping chairs and a table in the awning with the doors zipped up. The sleeping area is a great size. 9. Really good thick fibre glass poles. Cons - the design of the door for the inner has only a one way zip - which ends at the bottom. If you want to sleep with the inner door slightly open it would be better if the zip finishes at the top so you can leave it slightly open - otherwise you will have more risk of bugs crawling in. Tbh would have been better with a two way zip. The door at the front again only has one way zips but also the fabric to cover the zips is very narrow and the Velcro equally is rather skimpy so I am not sure if it was lashing down with rain if this will be a weak point for water ingress. I am a bit baffled by the front door. The netting is on the front which I am not sure when it rains if it will let rain through; it is backed by some tent material so we will see if that is enough. Seems daft to me I would have thought a roll up cover on the front over the netting would be essential - as rain is forecast most of the week I’m leaving it pitched to see how it fairs and will post again. I am a youth leader looking for a tent I could stand in without it being massive and a nice porch area I can sit and stand in. Plus a sensible weight and pack size and it ticks those boxes. The proof of the pudding will depend on whether those little economies Vango have made will prove to be deal breakers. Update. One night of reasonable rain - rain stayed out - needs a good lashing of rain next.

Hey, just wondering if you have an update on how waterproof that front mesh is? Seems a bit ridiculous it doesn't have a cover over it?!

@@clairetwyford7173 it has the cover on the inside not the outside. I didn’t find an issue but it hasn’t been absolutely drenched in torrential rain. I think it will be ok.

So it's basically old aura 300 model but without integrate floor. I used to use this model for about 7-8 years and it was fantastic. It's a shame they left all the minuses, and not much of a improvement. But I admit it's very good construction. I'd love to buy new one, as the old is no more waterproof (a lot of full sun exposition) but this floor... :-(((

Liked this tent do you have the tiree 350 on display in your shop if so how much is it
@AttwoollsCoUk10 ай бұрын
Unfortunately it isn’t on display yet as the tent has only just been released. I believe the first date that we will be receiving stock is March 2024.

Which is the better tent.. this or the Cragmor 400? They don't seem very different.
@AttwoollsCoUk3 ай бұрын
@@timothyclay3668 the Tiree is a model which is slightly smaller than the cragmor and has less height within the tent. The Cragmor is a dome tent whereas the Tiree is a tunnel tent.

The way that door is designed makes me feel like the porch is going to get very wet
@AttwoollsCoUk3 ай бұрын
@@SpeedStrengthJames it does have quite an open design but if need be you can roll the porch groundsheet back to stop it collecting water.
