Vango Tent Details

In this section of Vango Tent details you will be able to find out what all the technical details of each Vango Tent range mean. Please scroll down the page or select from the list below:

Vango Pitch and Go Tents - Vango Dart, Dart DS, Swift, Juno Tepee

	PROTEX® 2000: A premium PU coated polyester fabric which is coated to a number of different levels of waterproofness dependant on the type of tent it is to be used on. Polyester fabrics, if compared to similar nylons, have greater elasticity and hence are less prone to ripping if you trip on a guyline or pegging point. In addition because polyester absorbs less water than nylon, the tent will sag less when it gets wet.
	POWERFLEX FIBREGLASS POWERFLEX® – FIBREGLASS: Vango only uses the highest possible grade of fibreglass for our poles. Used in various lengths and diameters which are specifically selected to suit the design of the tent. The steel ferrules and tips are finished to give smooth and snag-free travel through pole sleeves and eyelets. All sections are ‘shock-corded’ together for ease of pitching.
	LANTERN POINT: Conveniently positioned attachment points for easy hanging of a camping lantern or torch.
	TAPED SEAMS: All Vango tents have taped flysheet seams sealed using a hot-air tape which bonds strongly with the PU coating on the flysheet fabric, to seal the holes produced by the sewing action of the needles during production.
	REFLECTIVE WEBBING: find your tent at night or in adverse conditions
	FIRE RETARDANT TREATMENT: Tents that are described as ‘Fire Retardant’ have their flysheet and inner tent fabrics treated to prevent the fabric for continuing to burn after a flame or similar is placed against the fabric & then removed (in accordance to CPAI-84). It should be noted that these tents are not fireproof and that they will burn if an ignition source is placed adjacent to the fabric.
