The Vango Swift looks like it could be one of the best "pop ups" currently for sale.  I have been put off by most of the others as they dont have any real porch over the door, essential to keep the front of the living area dry in this country.

But has anyone seen one, or better still bought one.  I had hoped to track down a video on the net and failed !!

Cheers

Look on YouTube for videos of pop-up tents - may not be Vango but they're all the same principle.

Have thought about one for short overnighters, but prefer to take main tent & have a bit of space & headroom (not too much bending these days).

I have one of these vango swift 300's.  Its brilliant.  As a fast  no nonsense tent you cannot fault it.  Plenty of space for storage of shoes and coats and a nice large sleeping area.

Ive slept out in torrential rain with mine without any leaks.

If I have got a complaint with the tent, its that the inner tent cannot be removed from the outer as they share the same groundsheet.  If you could seperate them, then it would make a fantastic motorcycle touring tent as well.  As it is. you can use it on a bike but you would not want to pack it away every morning wet as it would wet the inner.

Highly recommended if you want a pop up tent with some storage space
