About the Vango F10 Helium UL 1
Vango's Force 10 Helium UL 1 tent is an exceptionally lightweight backpacking tent, using innovative design to maximize inner space without impacting overall weight.
Made from Protex 15.SRN, the F10 Helium's flysheet is incredibly waterproof with a 3000mm rating and a PU coating to allow water-tight seam sealing. Made from 15D nylon, the flysheet is super strong yet still lightweight, and an added siliconized water repellent allows water and dirt to run off. Rated as ISO5912 fire retardant, you can be sure that the Force 10 Helium UL 1 is super tough and safe. Mesh vents allow excellent air circulation to prevent overheating while still keeping the bugs out. A 70D Nylon groundsheet balances invincible durability with super low weight, providing 6,000mm waterproofing with fully taped seams to keep the outside out.
With an inner made from 15D 28gsm nylon, the F10 Helium is exceptionally breathable, allowing condensation to travel through and giving you a comfortable night's sleep. A mesh inner door allows further ventilation whilst keeping the bugs out and inner storage pockets allow neat and easy access to your essentials.
The Force 10 Helium UL 1 tent is quick and easy to pitch (avg. 7 mins) with the flysheet and inner pitching together for added convenience. SD70 Yunan poles deliver excellent strength in high winds without unnecessary weight, and their innovative pre-angled design allows a greater internal space than with a standard curve.
Vango's patented TBS® PRO (Tension Band System) can be tensioned to remove slack, bracing at 3 points to create a tough, triangular frame within the tent for improved wind resistance in exposed terrain. Dyneema core guylines provide an excellent strength-to-weight ratio while mini Line-Lok guyline runners securely lock and simply release, achieving high performance no matter the conditions. Designed for safety and convenience, reflective points on the pegging allow visibility even in low-light conditions.
A great value backpacking tent, the Force 10 Helium UL 1 tent gives you Vango's renowned construction that won't let you down when the weather does. A great solo trekking tent for 3-season outdoor adventures.
