Frequently Asked Questions

Vango is best known for camping and outdoor equipment including tents, sleeping bags, awnings and accessories. The brand says it makes gear for family camping, lightweight adventures and more demanding mountain use.

Yes. Vango states that it offers a two-year user warranty, covering manufacturing faults in fabrics and component parts for intended use.

Vango tents are built for wet-weather camping, but like any tent, long-term performance depends on care and condition. Vango’s support guidance notes that if water stops beading on the flysheet and starts soaking in, the tent may need reproofing.

Yes, condensation can happen in any tent, especially in cool, damp, or still conditions. Vango says this is usually not a leak, and recommends ventilation, drying wet kit outside the tent, and avoiding cooking inside or close to the opening to help reduce it. It is as simple as - the air inside your tent is too warm when compared to outside temperature - and this creates the condensation on your tent walls.
