Vango says:
The award-winning F10 MTN 2 tent is the go-to mountain tent for all UK or overseas trips. The 4 pole classic geodesic construction creates a self-supporting structure, providing an excellent balance between weight and stability. The Axial Hub pole system adds additional stability, with the poles connecting at the cross over points. This versatile, free-standing shelter is especially good for use in adverse weather conditions thanks to its strong design and multi-function flysheet door.
