Review:  The Vango Atlas 200 is a great take on the traditional dome tent with a door on either side of the tent, which allows either camper to leave the tent without disturbing the other.  Apart from that, everything else here is as you'd expect from a budget dome tent.  The weight is tolerable for two people to carry and the internal space is good - 140cm of width is bigger than you'd get in a lot of the more expensive two person tents.  The materials are as good as you'd expect from any Vango entry-level tent, with a 3000mm HH flysheet and the same Powerflex poles as they use on lots of tents in the range.  Honestly, we love this tent, and think it's a great budget option for two people who want a good quality tent and don't mind carrying a few extra grams.

Best bits:  Cheap, clever two-door design, more spacious inside than some two person tents
Worst bits:  Won't stand up to very poor weather, slightly heavier than some dome tents
