Why Choose the Vango Nevis 300?
The Vango Nevis 300 is a compact and reliable 3 person backpacking tent, designed for campers who need extra sleeping space without sacrificing low weight or packability. Ideal for short camping trips, group trekking routes, and organised expeditions, it balances internal comfort with a lightweight, rucksack friendly design suited to UK conditions.
With a 5 minute pitching time, the Nevis 300 allows you to set up quickly when weather conditions are unpredictable or daylight is limited. The All In One Pitching system enables the inner and flysheet to pitch together, or flysheet first, helping keep the inner dry during setup. Its tunnel construction offers good head height and an efficient space to weight balance while remaining quick and straightforward to pitch.
Weather protection is provided by the Protex 70D flysheet with a 3000mm hydrostatic head, supported by fully taped seams for dependable waterproof performance. A durable 70D PU backed groundsheet, combined with a bathtub design that extends 10cm up the inner, helps prevent water ingress during prolonged rainfall. Stability is enhanced by the TBS® II Tension Band System, which helps reduce sideways movement in strong or gusty winds often encountered on exposed UK routes.
Inside, the breathable polyester inner tent and integrated mesh panels improve airflow and help manage condensation. Double inner doors allow easy access from either side of the sleeping area, while a single porch provides sheltered storage for boots and essential kit. Supplied with lightweight alloy pegs and a Fast Pack tent bag, the Nevis 300 packs down small for easy transport and is D of E recommended, meeting key expedition requirements for weight, durability, and ease of pitching.
