Vango Alpha 250


Sleeps: 2
Weight:  3.3kg
Dimensions:  Internal 205x150cm
Pack size:  57x15x15cm
RRP:  £55

Review:  The Vango Alpha 250 is a much better option than the Vango Alpha 200 for a similar price, with decent width but still only 205cm of length so taller campers might find it a bit short.  However, as an entry level dome tent this fits the one really fits the bill.  It shouldn't be expected to stand up to winter conditions, but for summer camping or as a festival tent the Vango Alpha 250 is a great option.

Best bits:  Cheap and roomy, good quality dome tent
Worst bits:  Entry level quality occassionally shows
Alternatives:  The Sigma range is a step up in terms of quality, but comes at increased price
