Hi, has anyone got or used the Vango Equinox 450, unfortunately there are no reviews in the review section.

I would be very grateful to hear any comments/experiences regarding this tent.

have been in the 350 its smaller "brother" it was built like a "tank" and looked like it would last forever. if I remember correctly it also had a HH of 5000. You used to see a lot of them used by what you might call serious walkers/climbersetc so obviously a quality bit of kit  

hope this helps

Thanks for yor replies much appreciated,

I am interested in the 450 mainly because it seems i could use each end of the tent as bedrooms, is this the case? and if so is it possible with the 350. I can't find any on display. I am single with 2 girls at an age where they need some privacy and this tent seems ideal. I also want to use it on solo trips in the colder months so being able to pitch alone would be perfect.

Yes, the 450 has a large sleeping pod, suitable for the girls I would think, the king size duvet fitted perfectly over the mats, and a smaller one that fits at the other end, yours I would think.

They will be fine they are used to living under the stairs :)

Seriously tho, do the two sleeping pods have SIG ?

thanks

Hi we have the 600 version of this (called the Quest, no longer made). Build quality is superb with alloy poles a hig tensile ripstop fabric. These materials give a much greater strength to weight ratio than cheaper tents of similat size.

And yes the bedrooms are complete with groundsheet, so they are complete little pods with zipper doors.
