Review: The new Alpha 250 from Vango has a funky new pointed pole at the front of the usual dome structure. As well as making the tent look cooler, it gives a little more headroom when entering the tent. On the inside, there is plenty of room for two people - 150cm of width is better than most of the two person tents on the market. The Alpha range previously had a 200 model and a 250 model - at practically the same price. Fortunately, Vango has seen the error of their ways and scrapped the poky 200 model in the 2012 range. This tent isn't going to be the lightest or the best quality, but as an entry level dome tent with a 3000HH flysheet (i.e. really waterproof!) that can be thrown up in just a few minutes, you don't really need anything else unless you're planning on camping in very poor weather or need a lightweight option.Best bits: High quality at a decent price, roomier than most two-person tents
Worst bits: Heavier than more expensive alternatives
