Banshee 200

The old faithful Vango Banshee 200 is a good shout. Little heavy, but a solid 1 person + gear tent.

Banshee is bombproof if you're after sturdy

Can confirm. I took my wife wild camping in my Banshee 200, it was "cosy" but the weather was nice enough to be out in the open.. The second time was the last time she came and that was 4 years ago. I have a Naturehike Cloud Peak 2 and it's great, plenty of room for 2, sturdy, but is on the heavier side of things.. Imo, go for the Lanshan 2 (not the pro). It's definitely my next tent!

Are you looking to use as a two person tent? If not I would just go for the 200, the bigger a tent the more limited you are when trying to find a pitch on poor ground. I used a 300 when myself and a friend did WHW it was snug with 2 people and two packs but not bad with the door on both sides. The pole on mine got permanently deformed during a storm in wales but i replaced the section and the tent lives on.

Don't know about that one. I have a Vango Banshee 200 which I wouldn't recommend for two even though it is a two person. And a OEX bobcat, which is a (great) 1 man. The cloud peak has been my most recent buy, and I have a lot of love for this tent. Have even taken it on my last few solo adventures

I'd second this and just go for the 200. It's a great tent.

I believe that the Vango Banshee 200 is still one of the best 'bang for british buck' tents for first time wild camping. £144 currently (With a members card that costs a fiver for a year at GO) but regularly seen on discount sub £100. [VANGO Banshee 200 Tent | GO Outdoors ](https://www.gooutdoors.co.uk/16140575/vango-banshee-200-tent-16140575) It's outer pitch first, low profile & large enough for comfortable camping for 1 person plus gear inside the tent. Weight: 2.4kg / Pack Size: 47 x 18cm / HH:3000mm I've bought and tried many fancy tents over the years and still find myself going back to this now and again because it is a design that works so well. I've had it in storms (albeit UK storms) and it's held solid through them. It is similar to the OEX Phoxx II (GO's own version of the Banshee 200) but has little improvements on it that make it a superior tent.
