The Vango F10 Helium UL 2 is a two-person ultralight tunnel tent designed for backpackers and hikers who want a reliable shelter while keeping pack weight low. Its streamlined shape and simple setup make it a solid choice for multi-day trips where every gram matters.
This tent uses a Protex 15.SRN flysheet paired with a 15D nylon inner tent to balance lightness and breathability, and the tunnel design creates a useful porch area for storing boots and gear. The groundsheet is made from 70D ripstop nylon, adding extra durability underfoot. Weighing in at 1.42 kg and packing down to 32 x ø13 cm, it slips easily into most backpacks without taking up much space.
Denier (D) refers to the thickness of the fabric’s yarn: 15D fabrics are fine and lightweight, while 70D fabrics use thicker yarns for greater tear resistance. Ripstop construction incorporates a reinforcing grid that stops small tears from spreading, which helps protect the tent floor from rocks and roots.
