- We are going to look at the Naturehike Tagar (Taga) 2 v Vango Banshee Pro 200. Putting then head to head we will check out their features and let you decide which is best for you.
I mentioned my review of the Vango Cobra 600 sleeping bag - • Vango Cobra 600 Sleepi...
I replaced my Banshee with the targa two , the banshee is bomb proof , I’ve had it in snow storms high winds and torrential rain , goes up very quickly and if you leave the inner attached you can be inside in the warm in a few minutes ,
When the banshee finally bit the dust I replaced it with the targa two , was a bit worried about durability but I needn’t have been , had this tent on the hills during a storm that knocked out power to patterdale then when I moved down to a camp site during the same storm the wind flattened about nine different tents but the Targa took everything in its stride , it has never let a drop of water in , it’s only fault is condensation but that can be easily managed by maximising ventilation leaving door zip up a bit ect, both are outstanding tents , if the banshee had the Targas head room it would be perfect but the Targas room to sit up wins for me, the banshee is a warmer tent than the targa having less mesh on the inner and having an inner and fly where as the Targa is mostly single skin.
Very concise and detailed review. I just received my Targar 2 .. The one thing you did not mention is the Targar is essentially a single skin tent ,so more prone to condensation. However thats the trade off for the light pack weight..I also have a Vango Nemesis .. Totally bomb proof but also quite heavy at 3kg..
I'm looking to get a new tent to start backpacking again after about 12 years. the Naturehike keeps getting mentioned and I was actually on the AliExpress site looking at the popular Cloud peak 2 tent, when I noticed a few other Naturehike tents which hardly get a mention. I saw the Taga, which then lead me to find this video and your channel.
I'm not sure I really want a 1 skin tent though, so maybe I'll look at something else.
My current tent is the Vango Spectre 200, which I bought years ago, after thinking the Banshee was too small. Funny, the Banshee is still going strong, but the Spectre has long been axed by vango. It was good, just that I fancy a new tent.
Do you get out much ? You don't make any wild camp videos.
Nice to hear the accent, I originally lived in Holywood .. until I was 5 (57 years ago)
Good luck with your channel
The Banshee is fantastic, except that it's a little too cramped for anything other than sleeping. The Vaude Taurus 2P Tent is a good one. Double skin, small in size but big enough to sit up in. I've the 3P that I use when I take the kids out with me. I've heard good things about the Cloud peak but haven't seen one in the flesh. I don't get out that much at the minute, every couple of months maybe, but love it. Thanks for your comments.
I got the vango banshee 200
It's the fact that the Taga is single skin that reduces most of the weight. Naturehike is known for cloning successful tents and this is essentially a single skin budget version of the Wild Country Helm tents. It would've been much better as a double wall tent in my opinion (to help reduce condensation).
I've seen the 1 person Taga and this 2 doesn't look that much roomier (width ways) inside - so I'm not convinced it would be worth spending more money for the 2 either. I have a Naturehike Opulas 2 which is like a palace compared to this and weighs only 1.8kg which is good for a tent of its size. The only downside to these cheap Chinese tents is that the outer is sil nylon - which will hold up to the weather but you do have the inconvenience of having to re-peg out the fly when it gets really wet (as nylon tends to sag). Apart from that, the Chinese tents are often a great buy - the Cloud Peak 2 and the 3ful Lanshan tents, in particular, are great buys.
How is the tent doing these days? I ordered one hearing they were going out of production. The size/shape/weight is just what I’d like in a small tent like this.
Still going strong. I wonder what they will replace it with. It's very light and I've no issues with it so far. It does have its drawback being single skinned, it does suffer from some condensation at times, the pros definitely outweigh the cons. Good luck with yours.
@@paulcupboardThanks! Some condensation I can deal with when the deign (and weight!) is right :) If they did a tent of similar design (not tunnel or trekking pole) at about the same weight with an clip on inner I’d be interested.
great videos, i have the banshee and i thought about getting the naturehike but from a lot of reviews i have seen they fill up with condensation to the point it drips on you😒, i have never had that problem with my banshee so i decided to keep it, the lanshan 2 looks like a decent tent also.
