Thanks for your comment, as for every tent a 2 man tent is really a one man tent once you put all your kit in. My advice would be a 3 man tent for 2 people. The groundsheet isnt really a issue for me, I have took this tent out in sub zero temps and it wasnt a issue. :)
I’m liking this tent more and more. Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Your welcome.
This tent is much improved since the video. In 2020, it is slightly larger for tall people, has a door both sides, self supporting vent that can be closed, better poles, and its bag is also improved.
I have a 2013 Banshee 300 for any "guest" expecting more than a tarp! You're right about the extra internal vent but it should be high up so there isn't a draught down the neck when sleeping. The door is intensely frustrating - why it doesn't open from the top smacks of design by someone who's never slept in a tent! It'd be great to have the flap open half down (from the top) to see the view and vent but keep draughts out low down, but that's not possible with a bottom opener. Enjoy.
I would love this tent for I use the Banshee 300 for two and one person and I absolutely love it... Even for one person the 300 is perfect and quite a low profile.. Having the zipped vent and access at the head makes great way to reach your stored food stuff.. equipment that you can stash in that space outside at the rear / head between the inner and outer tent... I have used it for over 20 nights in Wicklow and with about 7 wet nights it has never let any water in... I love the side entrances so much I doubt I would ever use front entrance tents again...
Thanks mate.i really appreciate you taking the time to do this.Pete
bought mine after watching you and Jayne last year quite comfortable as a one man tent, thanks for sharing

i love this tent camped for 14 days straight on a cycle tour france south to north slept like a baby every night two nights of extreme rain thunder and lightning stayed dry and snug have used it on many other 4day 7day tours in ireland ,
Superb video - thank you very much for posting. Taking the big brother (the Banshee 300) up the West Highland Way in July :)
Great tent.....I have borrowed this from my friend for a weekend.
a few people have told me i should buy this tent, it looks great.
I was looking at this tent for Christmas but I got the oex bandicoot ll tent. I just subscribe to your channel
Thanks for the video, mate. Really useful and enjoyable to watch.
I used this tent way back when, when I did DofE (a complete waste of time fyi.. no-one gives a shit about it for uni applications/jobs) and it was okay...
Pros- Stood up really well to the elements, felt solid, relatively easy to pitch with a really cool side-door design, long-lasting, nice net windows
Cons- HUGE amounts of condensation form inside even with the vents open if you sleep 2 or more people (in the various models of this design), thin groundsheet, no g-sheet for luggage compartment.
Nice video Sir!
I've many nights with my 200... spacious and bombproof for 1, cosy for 2! Mine has a single door - 2 would be luxury ;). Cook under the flap. (Roll back the groundsheet a bit.) My only issue is the internal height... I'm 6'1" and brush the inner if/when dressing etc. in an enclosed tent - never done this with 2 inside! For warm nights, leaving the outer pegged open, or long days and horizontal evenings :) it is great, if a little on the heavy side.
Just a note on putting it up; first time - inner first and leave attached. After that, do peg out the base before inserting poles - your tent won't blow away and the fabric will be much more manageable. (Also easier to use a groundcloth underneath.)
I reproof my tents (all 7) every year - including groundsheets, never had a leak with either Banshee
nice video tom. i just bought a vango blade 100 an i have to say it was value for money very happy with it so far
Cheers, yea you can see others on the market for well over the £100 mark so this one is really in everyones price range with a little saving.
I love Vango gear got a 3 man tent weighs less than 3kg and a 65 L Sherpa rucksack, great products for the money.
Handy size tent Tom
Yes they are a good versatile lightweight tent Tom, Good review too :) ......Les.
yes good point the vent should be higher,I think if the tent wasnt the shape it was then a top opening would work better, but maybe thats just me.
They are not extra peg holes, you use the outer holes for poles on a multiday camp as if it rains the material will stretch. That is when you move the poles to the tighter position to taughten it up again.
been looking for a tent mate and think im going to bite the bullet and get one my sel, after watching this review, looks like a great tent for the money mate, thanks for sharing, atb john and nettles,
Too right, would kit most packs even if you had to strap it on the outside its well worth it.
Thanks for the comment, never used the blade but the banshee rocks!
got the banshee pro 300 and the outer door zip went on the first nite! changed it for a tempest 200 ( like the idea of a porch) - haven't tried it out yet...
Thanks Les!
sweet! your very welcome, hope you like it
Thanks mate well done you have helped me.
Cheers mate that was a helpful vid
find it good for size i av a vaude bivi an jackwolf skin gossamer and the vango blade 100 is my first choice for my trips up the mournes its a well made tent..
Good stuff pal!!! Nice crocs.... I own the same lol
looks good!, ah I would love a night in the mournes right now!
Nice tent ,for not much money, regards Andy.
I must have a really early version with poles inside
I may have to upgrade my tent one day I love the way that thing opens
yea its great! I really like it, would gladly get another one just to have as a bug out tent or even just a spare to lend someone.
That tent nearly became a two man tent the night I realised hammocks are for monkeys not bears!
Thank you for review video...
Great video buddy. Since watching your YT clip on this product I have brought the bansee 200 2014 tent which has doors either side. I am using it for a motorbike trip to the lakes, so small size and weight is a must.
ah great stuff! should serve you well!. Glad I could help you.
you are welcome!
I have been looking at this tent system and like it but haven't seen a weight. Could you help? Great video Thanks.
Excellent video, very helpful and answered a lot of questions. Just a couple more if you don't mind. I'm 6'1". Is there plenty of legroom? And how do you think it would fair in strong winds etc up at the north of Scotland? Cheers,
CountryHouseGent well I am 6'2" and it suits me fine as I said it's really a one man tent. High wind no problem. Also I have camped in it with my Labrador and there wasn't an issue.
MrFermanaghman Oh that's great thank you. Seems like this will be the tent for me. Cheers,
Perfect for it mate
I'm renting my house out and going to live in a tent. I'm making a custom one. I'm getting 3 to combine on big tent
never been in a 300 so not sure, I think they are the same shape but as for weight and pack size I really dnt know sorry.
Would the 300 take up a lot more space in a backpack? I'm going solo camping soon and would like the 300 for extra room. I was also wondering, is the 200 stronger than the 300?
Thanks.

sweet!
this one is roughly 2kg very light weight for what you are getting.
How water proofe is this tent? would you still need a tarp over it to on the safe side, The door does not have a bug net? why did vango do this is beyond me! anyway , still going to pick this tent up next week, can'''''t wait. And yes its 1 human or 2 very shiny humans
Very good, how do you find it for size?
cool!
at 6' 2" did you find it cramped at all or is it long enough? (same height as me), i have a highlander blackthorn which is similar design and it's way too short you see - so have been thinking of getting one of these but don't want to if it's a tight squeeze really. appreciate any advice in advance
Rory
no problem
next time your looking a night in the mournes give me a shout tom it would be good to go wif you for the company
Hi Tom. Am actually thinking of buying one of these this weekend. Would you get two people in without any kit? We have a wee cheapo tent we bring with us to put our Bergens in.
I think you would get both of you in, would just be a pain if one of you wants up to the loo. The 300 as doors either side if you need out.
Not one vid showing how the inner goes on ?
The inner is already attached!
Inner is not already attached. But pops on very easily.
and can be packed away with the inner attacket!
Would like vango to let me "borrow" another one lol
Hi, I am thinking of taking my boys (ages 8 and 11) camping for the first time this summer.. Although this tent, as a small tent, I guess it would fit two small boys? I am wondering whether to buy 2 of them; one for them and one for me..
If you want to be able to take them on more trips in later years then I would personally go for the 300, and then get a 200 for yourself.
Thank's for the useful Video, and advice.
Also the weight of a tent is of less an issue when they will be two sharing. Distribute the different items in 2 backpacks rather than keeping the whole tent in one bag. :)) Also makes it more flexible when packing (especially when keeping soft and hard parts separate)
it looks like it might blow away. is it more robust than it looks
cosgrove notts I have had this up the mountain in gale force winds and it was solid as a rock!
lol ah that was solo funny!
Question. Banshee or helium UL?
banshee
Lol i get alot of comments about my crocs lol
its a good job I do not believe in banshees then lol..
you are welcome!
