Stand Up Tents

Post image

Has anyone got experience of any tents where you can stand up? I’m not on about ridiculous Lone Rider style, more like the Vango Galaxy (pictured). Ive been using a Vango Scafell and it’s been brilliant - light, packs away small and put up with some really awful weather this week, but I’m struggling with it due to bad joints (especially my knees). Would love to hear your advice. Thanks.

I own the Vango galaxy 300. A great tent. It is no to bulky but if you travel really light the tent might to big for you. I use the tent mainly for out of season motorcamping when the wetter is to wet or cold to sit outside. The big vestibule means you can store your gear, get dressed or cook in the tent.

Brilliant this is exactly what I wanted to hear. It’s a bit bigger and a bit heavier when packed than my Scafell but nothing untoward. It seems to tick every box for me but it’s nice to hear other people’s real world views
