- The Vango Nevis 200 - amzn.to/3L9TuSJ is a fairly lightweight 4 season tent for 1 person. Here I set it up and give it a review. There was an unexpected extreme weather test halfway through 😅

First tent I bought for wild camping, £75 a couple of years back, seen me through some rough nights, flapped like crazy. Upgraded since then, it’s probably the best tent for the price, only enough room for me and the small dog but still a good shelter 👍
Yeah it was pretty flappy in the test 😅 kept me safe and dry though 👌
One of the best for the price, not the best when it comes to high winds but its waterproof, i've used it 3 times already and i love it, i had to reinforce the bottom with another plastic sheet just to be sure because of my dog.
I love that sound. Great timing.
So glad the tent was up 👌😅
Thats a great review and convenient rain & hail 😁
Thank you!
Great tent. Had one for years. never let me down!
Great to hear!
I have the same tent and only used once so far. But the one time I camped at a reservoir it rained most of the evening and night and I was totally dry all night. Only downside to it, as a tall person I just about fit it length ways.
Seems very waterproof but it's a little tight as you say
Nice tent, I upgraded from a Coleman bedrock to this tent, used it a few times this year , its better at the bottom for your feet with the poles, the bedrock always touched my feet at the bottom.
I have that problem with some tents only just managing to fit in. It's better to have a bit of breathing space
I've got the vango NYX 200, its small but really weatherproof didn't let no rain in.
I know the one as long as it does the job that's all you ask 👌
I got it thinking it would be big enough for me and the boy to go camping but nope, so I've got the OEX Jackall 111 now,I did have 5 tents but the kids broke one, the Vango skye 500 is too big and got a Kombat UK triangle tent but its only good for summer.
I always try to go for the '2 man' just for me and size up to a 3 if my son comes 👍
Great video 👍🏻 helped a lot!
Thank you bud! 😄👊
I got the earlier version of this, the Zenith. 7 years later its still going strong. I made a wee video of it recently thats posted on my channel. It's been a great tent, once I worked out the niggles.
I use vango nevis and banshees for my students, a good little tent that's durable and weather tight
I haven't tried the banshee is it the same height as this?
@@MrWildWales similar but more robust, banshee fly is HH5000 Compared with nevis HH3000 and vestibule on both sides although not massive
I have a nevis 100, and a banshee 200. I would say that the nevis in the 200 is a much better option than the banshee 200, its lighter and has more room also the same hydrostatic head on the flysheet and ground sheet are the same aswell.
hh on banshee fly is 5000
Ive just picked up one of these brand new, delivered for £95...bargain! Cant wait to try it now...
Mint! Enjoy it! 😁👌
Brilliant,you couldn’t have planned it better.😂😂
Gutted I had to dry the tent out but couldn't have planned that 😆
Just picked up the 300 version of this for £65 brand new and will be properly testing this down Gower next week.
Sounds like a right bargain that! Enjoy
What’s the difference between this model and a banshee 200 ?
Thanks 🙏
It's quite a different shape. This is tall in the middle, the banshee is down one end
What would you recommend for me at 6ft 1 for camping in Fairly good weather only?
I'd like room for 2 adults and gear, mostly be solo though, be taking the tent on a motorbike so weight isn't a huge issue as long as the pack is not too long, prefer if it sat on the back seat and not restrict top opening of the side panniers, I suppose round the 600mm long pack size would be ideal, might get away with it a bit wider, thanks.
Hi pal I'd go for a onetigris iron wall if the second adult is a bit shorter. I've got an astagear Yun chuan on order which might be good too. I'll be reviewing that next week
@@MrWildWales Thanks I'll check those out and watch out for your review, she's only about 5'3 so not too hard to fit her in! provided I can persuade her to try camping at all, midges and no ensuite are the biggest worries!
Oh yeah shed defo fit in the onetigris then 👌 huge porch on it, no toilet though 😆
Nice review, I'm still sat on the fence between this or the Cairngorm 200....
I ended up not liking this tent much at all. Here's another to throw in the mix for you - vango hydra on amazon 👍
@@MrWildWales I've got the Hydra - had it a few years now, it's a great tent, I've got a few vids on my channel when I'm out with it. I've got quite a few tents lol - I watched a few other vids on the Cairngorm and Nevis and that back pole bothers me, it doesn't seem to sit straight and it looks like the tent is prone to sagging. You had the best pitch of the vids I've seen and yes, it looks like that back pole is the downfall of the tent - that and condensation issues. Cheers Mr. Wild Wales :)
@donnavansenior thanks for watching yes the parts above your head and feet are the main problem with this design
You must have more tents than Go Outdoors haha It's actually quite a nice looking tent to be fair. I like that it's second hand and been used a few times so we can see how it fairs up and where it may go wrong. 2kg is quite heavy for a tent... almost as much as a Hilleberg!! Nice little review Adam
The running total of tents is currently 6 🤣 I've mainly been getting them to review and sell on again 👍 it's not light this one but less mesh =more warm I think
It's a popular tent for sure, in fact Vango are decent generally. My only issue with this particular tent is it looks a bit saggy and heavy rain or snow could collect in that area. For the price though, it's decent. Cheers! :-)
Yeah it would be better with a hoop or something down the end I think to stop it sag
It turns out the small poles are supposed to go into a small reinforced tab 🤦 Thanks to Simon Ward for spotting that
I have 300 and done some mods on it and do like it
What have you added to it?
@@MrWildWales have put peg out points on each panel on the sides and made guy out points at each end long
Nice show thanks
😁👍
Whats the difference between Nevis Vango 200 Experience and Nevis Vango 200 Trek?
No idea sorry!
I don't think there is a "Nevis 200 Trek"? I think the only alternative version is the Apex Compact, which is almost exactly the same, only optimised for bikepacking (the poles break down into shorter lengths). That's the one I just bought.
Not a lot of difference between my 2 man tent and the Vango 200 in weight Adam. I prefer a larger tent myself. It might suit a smaller person though. Thanks for the review.
Same here I like a bit of room to move about. But I do think these compact ones are warmer
🤣🤣🤣An unplanned test, love it. great review
Just glad I had the tent up by then 😂
What are these poles made of ?
Aluminium 👍
@@MrWildWales okay thanks 😀
Had mine out 3 times but it looks like the poles are bent out of shape. The tent looks lopsided when up. What can you do for this?
My pole was bent too. Personally I wouldn't fiddle with it incase it snaps when you try to bend it back 🤷
How are your guy lines tied onto the ends. It looks like that way gets the tent more taut. How do you tie them on through outer and inner? Been trying to figure it out but can't.
Thx for the other message.
@@ryand141 hi mate yeah so the guy lines are only tied onto the outer. I did find this tent a little hard to get it looking taut myself to be honest
Make sure you keep those repair patches handy for the real test
It may need it!
Chiếc lều ⛺ này giá rẻ và lại nho nhỏ nữa, chắc không tránh được mưa lớn, có thể bị ướt,hay đi du lịch bụi nên mua một chiếc lều ⛺ loại tốt mà dùng
This is a middle of the range tent so it's not cheap but not expensive. So I think it will be pretty waterproof 👍
Does anyone have any with this and naturehike cloud up model - really unsure between that one or this
I'd personally choose a cloud up over this
@@MrWildWales thank you, that's what I went for
You must own enough tents to camp a small village by now 😎
Ha they don't stick around for long I like to keep swapping. Well the current total stands at 6...
never mind the tent where is druffus
He needs his own channel doesn't he
The small polls go into small pockets which are reinforced, I think you missed it, probably why the previous owner damaged it, a good value tent.
Ah I see yes there's no reinforced pockets on this one just a thick tab in there
@@MrWildWales it should split open into a small pocket.
Ah ok maybe I set it up wrong 🤦
Can’t go wrong at that price mate
It's not bad I think I probably like a bit more headroom
Schade daß man in Deutschland kein Zelt benutzen darf

Viel Spaß damit!!!
room for 1 6foot2 man and a boxer dog?
I'd go for a 3 man version 👍
Put the pole in the sleeve .....
Yeah I worked that out after lol
@@MrWildWales It does say in the instructions, but I guess it's such an easy tent to put up a lot of people don't read the instructions......
Instructions are for the weak 🤣😉
@@MrWildWales Ha! Actually I just bought the Apex Compact, which is practically the same as this. It's my first tent and I just put it up in my garden. I did read the instructions as I went, but tbh I didn't need them, as pitching was very simple, and I'd already watched a bunch of videos where people pitched the Nevis, so I already pretty much knew what was involved.
The only place where I went wrong was with the corner straps - I didn't know how to use them, or the correct way to attach them to the pegs. TH-cam sorted me out, so I redid them, and now they're perfect.
