The F10 Xenon UL 2 Tent is a robust and well-made tent that pitches incredibly quickly, has plenty of guy out points, and has plenty of headroom.
Vango says:
The F10 Xenon Ultralight 2 tent utilises Gothic Arch poles combined with TBS® Pro to create a stable two pole tunnel design which is quick and easy to pitch and strike. Perfect for those seeking greater headroom in the inner tent area, the Xenon UL 2 tent also features a large vent over the door allowing plenty of air flow and shelter from the rain. It also benefits from a low weight and small pack size, perfect for intensive activities, such as trekking, biking and all mountaineering adventures.
Our Verdict
Pitching is easy, and the inner and outer go up simultaneously. Once the poles are in, it's just a case of pegging out the tent. There are also five guylines, so it's a tent that will withstand severe weather. The tent has good airflow; the fly sheet door has a "hood" over the top, so the door can be opened without being exposed to the elements; this help promotes good circulation. However, it should be noted this tent is designed to protect from bad weather rather than ventilation.
It's not the lightest tent we do. However, it's reasonably priced and will stand well in rough conditions.
