Vango - Banshee 200

I have a vango banshee 2 man, and... I mean it's been good to me in all weather - my big gripe is space for your kit. You've got a small sheltered area by the entrance for boots which is nice, but the tent isn't quite long enough for me to stretch out. This gets worse once I try to find somewhere to stow my kit. Fine if I'm alone though it's heavier than I'd like for a one man tent, but add a second person and there just isn't space for your kit. What I've done in the past is triple wrapped my hiking bags in bin liners and used a cargo net and some spare pegs to peg them down outside, but it's hardly ideal and I wouldn't wanna do it in torrential weather.

vango banshee 200 is always a good place to start, about £150 and you can always upgrade as you go

I have a Vango Banshee 200. For two people it's snug, for two people with packs way too tight, but for one person with a pack and a big pack-sized dog it might do 

Vango banshee, great tents, I picked mine up for about 70 quid a few years ago but upgraded now

This tent "holds up" to severe winds but it will cave in on itself and flap about like mad

Would not recommend this tent for severe wind. It will stay standing, but it flaps around like crazy and caves in on itself

Yeah it's actually really solid if facing the wind. But I've had maybe 3 occasions (2 at the same location different times) where the tent has been absolutely battered in high winds which came from hard to anticipate directions

Terrible, I got rid of mine as I was sick of having to do everything on my side. Solid tent, just cramped.

I've got the classic Vango Banshee and it's superb. Can be put up in under 2 mins and holds up in severe winds.

I've never had that experience. I normally set it up head-to-wind and it's been super-solid.
