Eve in Nepal

hope ur vango is better than my vango ostro mountain tent, would rather have my quetcua ones any day , snapped a pole on the second outing..... where as the decathlon tents are still going strong after years of heavy use

eve and i have used the 2 man vershion of this on WRT and it fits in my bar hearness fine and isnt too heavy for me anywya
, they are verry well made tents i have a couple of the quetchua tents and have hammered them in scotland for a few years even in winter skiing etc.

loved the Netflix documentery on it

I have what i think is a B15 ? might be something different but similar (bought from posti ritch.) , i used it on my annapurna trip and it was amazing still comfy and no saws after 2 weeks in the dust etc
