About the Vango F10 Helium UL2
Crafted for fast and light backcountry missions, the Force Ten Helium UL 2 delivers a hybrid tunnel design with amazing stability and a low pack weight of just 1.42 kgs.
The Helium features high-quality Yunan SD70 poles with a pre-angled shape for greater internal space than with a standard curve. TBS®Pro (Tension Band System Pro) gives you an ultra-lightweight version of the classic TBS®, which ensures your tent performs in adverse weather conditions by bracing at 3-points to create a tough, triangular frame within the tent for improved wind-resistance in exposed terrain.
The Helium tent is quick and easy to pitch (avg. 7 mins) with flysheet and inner pitching together for added convenience. On the inside, there's room for 2 people with a main and secondary door providing hassle-free entry from either side for protection from changeable winds. A single vestibule gives you added storage space for packs and footwear.
A part mesh inner door allows bug-free ventilation while mesh vents in the flysheet and door ensure airflow and moisture management in warmer weather. A 15D ripstop nylon flysheet keeps the weight low with a taped seam, silicone/PU treatment for lasting rain protection.
For camping in warmer climes, the flysheet can be pitched alone with a footprint (sold separately) for an even lighter pack weight.
The Helium UL 2 is for trekkers and wild campers looking for an ultralight backpacking shelter at an affordable price. It's also a great tent for solo adventurers looking for added pack space.
