Vango Neon UL1 Field Test - 24.05.2023

Yes it's an amateur video but that's what I do. I don't get paid for these. I buy my own gear and am not endorsed by any company. This is something I enjoy doing. Location: Rubha na Beirghe near Dhailbeag, Isle of Lewis, Scotland. Tent: Vango Neon UL1 Footprint: Vango GP511, yes it should be the GP512 but Vango doesn't make it anymore so I sized up and bought the one for the F10 project hydrogen which fits really well. Sleep Mat: Sea to Summit Ultra light Mat Sleeping Bag: Vango Cobra 200 Pillow: Trekology Aluft Pillow 2.0 Some points for Vango: The pegs that come with the tent are terrible and I swapped them for my own ones. A sleeve or something similar for the main pole would have been better as it's very fiddly trying to pitch the main pole in the wind. Still, the tent held very well in the 20-30mph winds and there was a little condensation inside during the night above my head but I put that down to me being a big guy and a warm sleeper. The little condensation had gone by the morning.
