Hi Inquirer,

Are you looking for a small backpacker type tent or something you can stand up in? Reason I ask is Vango are bringing back technical family tents next season - the Nevis 400, 600 and 800. Alloy poles, TBS system, 5000mm HH. The 400 might be just the job for you.

OK as I always suggest when this type of question comes up. What about a four meter bell tent.

Or a pyramid with a sig :)

I would have suggested a pyramid tent Angie, but I knew you could be relied upon to do that. I was thinking that my want list for cotton tents had be filled, but now you have reminded me that I still want one of these. I do have a ridge sort of version but it's not quite the same thing is it. It looks the same from the front, but not to the side or rear.

You are insatiable man lol

Hi Foggers,

Yep, it's absolutely in the same mould as the Quest. As  you say, they were great tents and I'm not quite sure why Vango would let the idea of a technical family tent lie fallow for a couple of years before bringing them back. Certainly in their absence Robens tents (partcualrly the Double and Triple Dreamers) have stolen a bit of that market from them. However the TBS would make Vango my choice if using in 3-season conditions.

Cheers, Paul

(Oh, and thanks for your past business - much appreciated)

Vango equinox 350 or better still 450
