Nice video I’m going to buy It thank you

Looks very similar to the f10 radon, what's the difference?

By any chance did any of me and my mates see I by Rimrose valley

Thank you for all of your vids on the Nexus, felt I was really well informed before placing my order. I've been a Vango fan for ages and wanted an alternative to my loved but tired Hydra and something more windy stable than the Nature hike. Took the Nexus with me down to Dartmoor for a few days. While the weather wasn't extreme the Nexus didn't budge on the tors and hugs the ground like a Limpet. I did have concerns with height and porch space for cooking but with the tips you have suggested all was great for 6ft me. Loads of internal space for 1 person, genuinely big enough for 2. Cheers Andrew!

I love being in my tent in the pouring rain Andrew.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⛺️👍

I think after a two or three years we will see how good this tent is in harsh weather or not! For me I like tried and tested tents! I am upgrading from my Abisko Lite 1, which has never let me down, to a larger storm proof 2p tent, with better head room and space, which has proven to be bomb proof and that is the Kuiu Storm Star 2p tent. Better in my opinion to Hilleberg Soulo BL (which I find to be a flappy tent making loads of noise wise in high winds) at half the price. I will be watching over the next few years what Nortent Vern 2 owners says about the tent on mountains in high winds and snow load environments! I have seen already that Nortent have upgrade the size of the poles for the Vern 2. We will see!

Last year during my hike on the West Highland Way I took the time to visit Inchailloch and stay there for a night on the camping spot. I am glad I took this detour for an extra day. It is such an amazing place. Thx for sharing.

New Vern 2 is on another level.

The new Vern 2 is seriously good if pitched correctly.

Great review Andrew, thanks for the practical suggestions for making it more usable. I'm just wondering if there is scope to use a trekking pole with an extra guy line to hold out the door if cooking in the porch?

I like it but do you prefer the f10 helium or that one ? They seem to be quite similar.

Hi Andrew, very nice video! How is this tent handling condensation? I am very tempted in buying one.

Great wee video mate 😀, how do you think it would fair on the mountains?. Atb Wullie 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿✊🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

It’s crazy that years ago Vango did the F10 Nitro 200 Lite at 1.4kgs…..I still have it along with the plus at 1.76kgs…….it is mad by today’s standards how light these tents were….they even had their own lighter footprints. Nearly had a video on the F10 Xenon UL Air but weather turned nasty for filming 🙄 I need to do a video on all the Nitros as I have them all

Looks great tent. Would think be a good tent for something just start out in wild camping?? Or do you guy in comments have any other suggestion??

Thanks again Andrew, looking like I may add this one. Was out with the Nastrugi for the summer solstice coastal camp and picked up some ticks and ended up on antibiotics to counteract Lymes disease, yip got a buls eye reaction, first in73 years, so everyone camping and walking, be Tick aware!!!!

Looks like a good buy - thanks for a thorough review 👍

Love or loath this tent (I like it alot), there is no denying vango represents an extremely positive presence in the outdoor community (here in the UK at least). Long may they continue to do so. Out of curiosity Andrew, do you have it written in your will that you wish to buried with or in your favourite tent, the last act of a true tentaholic😂

I've just taken delivery of one and initial impressions reflect what you have said to the tee. I have done the same with the groundsheet tied to peg connectors and lifting the inner a little as well. The opposition was going to be a tunnel tent, so this is a lot more appropriate for my use of motorbike touring where I'm not counting the last few grammes, but do want somewhere for my kit and space to move on a wet evening. The stability looks good as I do like a campsite by the sea / up a hill and pack size is fine for putting in a pannier as well. Even the pegs look okay, but I have got some Ti nails for hard ground and can also be spares if needed. I did enquire if they had a groundsheet, but apparently not in the plans. Pity as that makes touring a bit easier when the kit's getting muddy. Hopefully they will do one before long. As for quality, I think it's good for the price point. Anyway, top review - thanks!

Thanks for this update - not many reviews around yet, which is surprising as it looks like a great value tent - sort of a mid point between the Wild Country Helm and Terra Nova Pioneer, but lighter than both. Been thinking about getting this for solo bike touring in uk and Europe, and occasional 2 person use. Looks like it ticks almost all the boxes 👍

Great job! Not a syllable wasted, in 9 minutes you have distilled the nature of the tent. I like it very much.

Good review Andrew. I'm currently using a Pioneer 2, and this looks like a cheaper but very comparable alternative. Well worth a look.

I love your reviews Andrew. I always want to buy the tents you like (oops divorce)

It does look good... it olso looks shorter than it actually is... nice video. Take care out there.

Good review .i would probably have bought this tent if i didnt have way too many as is .1.8 kg is great for a 2 man .think my vango krypton is around 2.2 with its foot print .

I love mine. It’s the only tent I own right now (one on the way though). I put some plastic clips on the TBS cords and store them in the roof pockets when not in use 👍

One of the best tents around for its price, I’ve still not used my new tent,I’ve had it over a year lol. Hopefully out soon 👍.i lost pip on Monday 24th, he was 12, heartbreaking. Keep them coming Andrew I always look forward to see wtf you have bought this time.

been fancying this tent,think you have made my mind up

May I ask what shoes your wearing. Not like in a creepy way I genuinely like them and looking for some new ones.

thank you for this useful review

Great review!

Just saying to the wife our boat must have been out of the water 2 seconds later 5:20 we sail past 😂

where do you get your tvek from i cant seem to source what i want

I also have the Nexus, and I’ve just added a cheap, very lightweight footprint to keep the bottom protected. It’s the Gram Counter size L, from ultralight outdoor gear, and it fits perfectly. Just tied it with cord to the same points as where you recommended attaching the inner cord to the fly. 8000mm extra hydrostatic head, so should keep the floor dry long into the winter

It's nice but shite design for a 4 season tent. It csnt be a 4 season tent when u csnt set it up in rain without it getting soaked wet 🤔 these days some tent companies really don't know how to label their tents. Apart from that, it's incredible for how light it is. But the inner to be up first to the put outer on that's silly. Defeats the purpose haha

Have you tried the F10 Xenon UL Air yet? It’s so good! It has stood up to some serious gusts and no chance of broken poles. It’s one of the best tents I’ve had.

Great review. I love this tent. The only thing I don't like is how much the inner sags. If it didn't sag above my head it would be so roomy inside

What amazing views, 👍

The original Svalbard 1 SI has an additional flap of material inside the fly at the foot end, so that when the wind blows, it pushes the material down and closes the external mesh vent. At the head end, the fly has both zip-mesh and zip-solid window. The internal mesh windows are fixed but I believe the fly sheet options provide most of the necessary adjustments.

Great. Price please?

If you're considering buying this tent, it's worth reading the reviews on trustpilot etc. I purchased one, it came with a rip. They offered tape to fix. Another rip developed, too big for the tape and they wouldn't refund or even investigate as a defect. They would only apologise and offer LED light strips, all of which are useless if you have a gaping hole in your tent. We have a different tent from them and there's no problems there. I think the product is good if you get one without defects, but if you don't, the customer service is beyond useless. They simply do not care.

Hi what tent would you recommend for me I want a fair amount of space with enough room for cooking insidexwen I have to, been looking at your reviews of the f10 xenon so that's looking top spot at the moment, any others you would put in front of this for a similar price point? Thanks

Scotland is so beautiful

Great meet up and video. The morning was certainly worth the evening before👍

Great film Andrew. What you saw is a temperature inversion. Clouds can not invert 👍

Nice one Andrew, thanks for taking us along, those views are simply stunning to wake up to.
