Wild Country (by Terra Nova) and Vango are two UK tent brands that most campers in the UK are familiar with. If you are looking at a 3 person tent from Wild Country or Vango, and are fed up with clicking back and forth between websites trying to compare the specs, hopefully this quick article will help. We have not included all of the tents in their ranges – we have chosen three tents from each brand to compare. Check out their websites for the full range.
The tents we have chosen from Wild Country and Vango are 3 person tents and should be suitable for 3 (possibly 4) season UK weather. They are all in a similar mid-range price bracket.
The tents we have featured are probably ideal for two people to use either on a campsite or wild-camping/backpacking as you could split the load. One person could erect the tents themselves, however, they would be pretty heavy tents for one person to lug around on the hills backpacking and wild-camping.
We have compared the key features of the following tents:
- Vango Halo Pro 300
- Vango Mirage Pro 300
- Vango Tempest Pro 300
- Wild Country Foehn 3
- Wild Country Trisar 3
- Wild Country Helm Compact 3
