Is the Vango Starav 200 big enough for two adults?

It sleeps two side by side, but it is a compact tunnel. Two taller adults with large packs will find it tight, and the porch space is limited.

Can you pitch it in the rain without the inner getting wet?

Yes. The flysheet and inner pitch together, so the inner stays protected while you set it up.

Is it suitable for winter camping?

It is a three-season tent. The groundsheet is very waterproof, but the flysheet's breathability and the mesh ventilation are not built for heavy snow loading or extreme cold.

How waterproof is the groundsheet?

The groundsheet is rated at 6,000 mm hydrostatic head, which is high for a lightweight tent and copes with wet, boggy ground.

Does it come with a footprint?

No. The tent includes the inner, flysheet and poles; a separate footprint is sold by Vango if you want extra protection under the groundsheet.

How small does it pack?

Packed size is about 45 x 15 cm at 2.5 kg, so it fits in or strapped to a standard backpacking rucksack.

Our take on the Vango Starav 200 Tent

The Starav 200 is a two-person tunnel tent built for backpacking, with a packed weight of 2.5 kg and a compact 45 x 15 cm pack size. Its flysheet and inner pitch together, which keeps the sleeping area dry in rain, and the 6,000 mm hydrostatic head groundsheet is far tougher against wet ground than the 3,000–4,000 mm found on many lightweight rivals. The Protex Eco flysheet is a polyester fabric with a solid water column but modest breathability, so it suits three-season campers and weekend backpackers rather than humid summer trips. Reviewers of Vango's tunnel range generally rate the quick pitching and weather protection, while noting that two-person tunnel tents of this weight trade living space for portability.
