Why Choose the Vango F10 Radon UL 1?
The Vango F10 Radon UL 1 is designed for backpackers who demand ultralight performance, fast pitching and dependable protection when travelling light in exposed or changeable conditions. This 1 person lightweight backpacking tent balances minimal pack weight with reliable weather protection, making it ideal for multi day hiking, wild camping and long distance trekking routes.
The Radon UL 1 uses a semi freestanding hub pole design that forms a single connected structure for quick, efficient pitching and impressive stability for its weight. A 7 minute pitching time is a key advantage at the end of long days on the trail. The brow pole increases usable headroom for a more comfortable interior, and in harsher conditions the brow pole sleeve can be reinforced with a walking pole for extra strength and confidence in strong winds.
Stability is enhanced further by the TXS Stability System, which uses internal X shaped high tensile guylines that react under load to help the tent resist deformation in gusty conditions. Lower flysheet ground clearance also helps reduce wind driven rain and splashback, improving protection during prolonged wet weather.
The Protex 15 flysheet provides a reliable 3,000mm hydrostatic head, while the durable 70D ripstop nylon groundsheet delivers a robust 6,000mm hydrostatic head. A bathtub groundsheet construction helps prevent water ingress on saturated ground, while breathable inner fabrics, mesh panels and a kickstand door vent improve airflow and help manage condensation in milder conditions.
With a low 1.2kg trail weight, compact pack size and strong, lightweight alloy poles, the Vango F10 Radon UL 1 is a confident choice for adventurers who prioritise speed, protection and proven design. Backed by a 2 year warranty, extendable to 3 years with registration, it is built for serious use on demanding routes.
