Something I said in the video needs correction.The flysheet is a 5000 hydrostatic head,and the groundsheet of the inner is 6000 HH. I’ve put a link in the description for all the features of the 2018 model.
I bought the 2018 Banshee Pro 200, for kayak camping, thinking I couldn't go wrong. At 5' 9"", I was amazed that my feet touch the bottom and my head touches the top, with the Inner, hanging close to my face. I pitched and adjusted it carefully, but no improvement. The comments below are spot on ! It makes for a claustrophobic experience.
Darr3n XYZ yes it’s such a shame for a tent that’s very popular and highly recommended and has been around for years,you’d think vango would’ve fixed the issues by now.
The new vango banshee 300 tent is 220 cm long inside and the old one was 228 cm long. Which kind of puts me off a bit because I'm 6.2ft but I prefer the colour of the inner tent to this one rather than the bright orange.
I'm only a short-a*** at 5'7" and found the 300 quite short with feet brushing on the ends. Didn't want to go up further due the the previous mentioned height with the slightly saggy inner that end.
I was going to buy the 2018 banshee but now there is no point as I have the old one and the only reason I was going to upgrade Is because I thought they would have fix the problem with the inner of the tent and made it so that it did not hang down much but guess they did not witch Is a bit of a shame
Pauls Pursuits yeh thanks a lot bud otherwise I would not no and would of bought it would you say it hang a lot or not that much cuse the old one hangs down a fair bit but it dose not really matter as I am pretty small but it is just anoying and you almost loose that space
BensonBoii well I never had the older banshee so I can’t really compare the two,but as you said it’s more of an annoyance than a big issue,I’ve got used to it now and love the tent overall
I'm wondering (I have the 300 pro) if there is a mod possible. Like a thin guy-line attached from one of the vent/boot store opening zips to a high point just to lift that inner slightly at the head end. Might have a fiddle on the next trip!
Terribly disappointed in this tent so much smaller than original that me at 5'6" can just about squeeze in sold it and now looking for the old model which even 2nd hand is fetching more than the new one!

Thanks for this, I’m 6’1 and thinking of getting the 300 for me and my 2 year old.
Stampistuta no problem,thanks for watching

Jon N It’s a shame they reduced the length in the 300,but sadly still to heavy for my needs,

Thumbs up from Scotland
It's smaller dimension from last model I think by quite a bit
I'm 5' 7" and I find it a bit tight, but it's ok for canoe/camping
Can you sit up straight in the tent?
Park James no I couldn’t and I’m 6’

BensonBoii yes it is a shame they didn’t sort out the inner issues,but glad you saw my video before you got the 2018 tent.

Grumpy Dad yes I’m sure with a bit of fiddling you can get the inner more tensioned,ive not had a go yet
Hi is it full mesh inner options on doors?
Jim Booth hi,no it’s not mesh doors sadly. It a full inner liner fabric.
Thanks for watching
Is of 4 station?
No only 2
Very disappointed with the size reduction. Far too small now. I'm 6'4" and wouldn't fit in this. The old model was spot on.
There is a Banshee Pro 200 Max version. 236cm long. 94cm tall.
I just ordered one as I'm 6ft 3.

Me too! I sold this ages ago because of the size! Appreciate the comments 👍🏻
