It's hard to talk about the Spring/Summer season without talking tents. So with that in mind we're going to take a look at a few newbies coming in from Vango for SS14!
Kicking things off from Vango's 'Trekking' range, new for SS14 is the Vango Pulsar 300 Tent. The Pulsar utilises Vango's Tension Band System II (TBS II). The TBS II creates a structure allowing the tent to perform and stay strong in adverse weather conditions. When tensioned, the bands brace the pole and prevent sideways movement. The tent has a Protex 5000mm hexagonal polyester 70D fly and uses Powerlite 7001-T6 alloy poles, which although are lightweight, are durable and strong. It's all in one pitching, with a pitching time of 12 minutes, leaving you more time to explore your surroundings. The Pulsar 300 has a total weight of 3.35kg, a pack size of 53 x 16cm and will RRP at around £185.
Stepping away from the tent pegs for a minute, another new product arriving in stock this SS14, we have the Vango Harmony Sleeping Bag. From their family range, the Harmony has a single layer stitch through construction with a Polair 210T polyester microfibre shell. It's been given a single hole siliconised hollow fibre and polyester fill, giving it a suggested temperature usage between 6ºC and 20ºC, making it an ideal bag for Summer camping and festivals et al.
The Harmony sleeping bag has a comfort temperature of 8ºC, a comfort limit of 3ºC and an extreme limit of -11ºC (Though, usually best to ignore the extreme limit as that's the temperature you'd just about be kept alive at...) It's got a pack size of 40 x 23cm and weighs around 1.60kg. The RRP is £35, and we've got two colours due in, the Atlantic shown above and also a Volcano red. The Harmony will also be available in a Double as too!
Stay tuned with us over the coming weeks where we'll have more SS14 and AW14 sneak previews coming your way!
