Why Choose the Vango Storm 800?
The Vango Storm 800 Storm Shelter is a vital piece of safety equipment for larger groups spending time in exposed hill and mountain environments. Designed to provide fast, dependable protection in poor weather or emergency situations, it offers reassurance when conditions deteriorate unexpectedly and is particularly well suited to group leaders, clubs, and organised outdoor activities.
With a 1 minute pitching time, the Storm 800 can be deployed rapidly when shelter is needed for rest stops, injury management, or emergency scenarios. Its bright orange colour, combined with reflective points on the roof, significantly improves visibility in low light and severe weather, helping the shelter act as a clear beacon should assistance be required.
Constructed from Protex 70 denier polyester with a 3000mm hydrostatic head, the Storm 800 delivers reliable waterproof protection while remaining lightweight for its size. Factory taped seams ensure a watertight seal, while flysheet vents with mesh help manage airflow and condensation without allowing insects inside.
Designed with group safety in mind, the Storm 800 includes waterproof seating to protect clothing from wet ground and a drawcord base that helps seal out wind and rain while retaining warmth in emergency situations. An integrated stuffsack allows quick packing and reduces the risk of losing the bag in adverse conditions. Fire retardant fabrics provide additional reassurance, meeting European safety standards.
Despite its large capacity, the Vango Storm 800 Storm Shelter weighs just 1.18kg and packs down compactly, making it a practical and responsible addition to any group hill walking or trekking kit where safety is a priority.
