Vango's have always got the thumbs up from, sadly they seem to be viewed in a similar fashion as skoda cars do.......

I've had several Vangos and have always been impressed with them. I don't think you can compare a polycotton tent with a polyester tent though as they are two different animals.
I've always found Vangos to be well made, good quality,and to be honest, I think its more of a brand image thing. Given this year's crop of manky green Outwell polyester tents I would go Vango every time.

Quote: I used to think of Outwell as the Mercedes of tents - especially their poly cotton ones, and that Vango were more of a Ford. Now I'm thinking that they're pretty equal or even Vango are better - certainly on quality. Anyone else with thoughts on this?
as owner of a 2012 trout lake4, 2012 bear lake 6 and 2013 concorde L i can tell you that outwell are nowhere near the mercedes of tents - go see a Karsten or a De waard to see the mercedes of tents! - what you said is an insult to mercedes!!!
vango may well be the ford of tents - i can tell you that Outwell are the vauxhall.
both are good. but neither come light years near a karsten or de waard in terms of quality - they are mass produced in china in large numbers.
