Vango Blade 200 Tent 2023

Product Information

The Blade 200 tent has been in Vango’s range for many years and for the new 2022 season it has been updated to be more sustainable and Eco friendly - all of which without compromising on the design of quality of the tent. One of the biggest plus points to the Blade is its compact and lightweight pack size. Not many tents can compete with the Blade, especially when you consider the price. There is a single pole which makes the tent easy to pitch, merely peg the base of the inner tent, insert the pole and then cover with the waterproof flysheet. There are multiple reflective points on the tent and if that wasn’t enough there are reflective guylines as well with easy adjustable line-lok runners.

The Blade sits in Vango’s new Earth Trek Collection which has been designed to be environmentally friendly and durable. The entire range is made from single use plastics and every tent has an equivalent plastic bottle total to help show what Vango can create from just a small amount of waste. The Protex Eco fabric has a waterproof rating of 3,000mm HH and UV protection factor of UPF30+. The material has been designed to be lightweight and durable as we have come to know and love from Vango’s Trekking tents.

The bedroom inner has a strong groundsheet material which is waterproof to 6,000mm HH. There are also inner pockets to help store items such as phones or torches. In the door of the inner tent, you have a mesh panel which can be opened as a vent to help increase airflow and reduce condensation. All in all, the Blade is a great option for someone who is looking for a super compact lightweight tent which isn’t going to cost the Earth.
