Why Choose the Vango F10 Helium UL 2?
The Vango F10 Helium UL 2 is built for backpackers who want a genuine ultralight 2 person backpacking tent without compromising on stability, ventilation, or weather protection. With a compact pack size and an approximate 5 minute pitching time, it is ideal for fast moving trips where reliability and efficiency matter.
The lightweight hybrid tunnel design helps reduce overall weight while maintaining strong internal space for two. For added confidence in exposed camps, the Helium UL 2 combines PowerLite Plus Poles, pre angled poles, and the TBS Pro Tension Band System, working together to reduce sideways deformation and improve stability in strong winds and adverse weather.
Weather protection comes from the Protex 15.SRN silicone reinforced ripstop nylon flysheet with a 3,000mm hydrostatic head. Underfoot, the 70D ripstop nylon 6 groundsheet delivers a durable 6,000mm hydrostatic head, supported by a bathtub groundsheet that extends 10cm up the inner to help keep you dry in harsh weather and wet ground conditions.
Comfort is improved through airflow management, with a breathable inner, a partial mesh inner door, and mesh covered vents at each end to reduce condensation build up. Double doors allow easy entry from either side of the bedroom, while a single porch provides covered storage for essential kit. Fully taped seams, full rain testing to EN ISO 5912, and fire retardant fabrics complete a shelter designed for dependable use in wet and windy conditions.
