Why Choose the Vango Equinox 200?
The Vango Equinox 200 is a low profile 2 person tunnel tent designed for campers who want a durable, spacious yet compact shelter that performs reliably in exposed and changeable conditions. Its streamlined shape is built to reduce wind resistance, making it a strong choice for trips where stability and dependable pitching matter most.
The Equinox 200 uses a classic tunnel tent construction that is quick and easy to pitch while maintaining excellent internal volume for its size. A lower profile design, combined with flat pole sleeves, helps reduce drag in strong winds to stabilise the structure in harsh conditions. This is further reinforced by the TBSII Tension Band System, which braces the poles at multiple points to reduce sideways deformation when winds increase.
Inside, a comfortable rear bedroom provides practical sleeping space, using durable polyester and breathable mesh to improve ventilation and help manage condensation. The tent also includes a generous porch area, ideal for keeping rucksacks, boots and wet kit organised and out of the sleeping area, which is especially useful for adventure camping and gear heavy trips.
For reliable wet weather performance, the Protex Eco Ripstop flysheet is made from recycled single use plastics and provides a 3,000mm HH waterproof rating with fully taped seams. Underfoot, the durable 70D PU backed polyester groundsheet offers a 6,000mm HH rating and is easy to clean. A bathtub groundsheet extending 10cm up the inner tent helps protect against surface water in harsh weather.
Pitching is made easier with All In One Pitching, allowing you to leave the inner clipped into the flysheet for quicker setup and pack down. The Equinox 200 can also be pitched flysheet first or flysheet only to create a simple shelter when required. Practical details such as a full mesh flysheet door, O shaped inner doors, ventilation at each end of the flysheet and internal storage pockets enhance comfort and usability on longer trips.
With an approximate 10 minute pitching time, a trail weight of 3.46kg and a compact pack size, the Vango Equinox 200 is a dependable option for adventurers who want extra storage space and confidence in wet and windy weather.
