Designed for hikers and bikepackers who value efficiency and reliability, the Vango F10 Banshee UL1 combines proven design with lightweight innovation. The flysheet is made from Protex 10D ripstop nylon, offering an excellent balance of low weight, durability, and weather protection, while remaining 100% PFC-free to reduce environmental impact. Updated external poles and angled pre-bends help maximise internal space without adding unnecessary weight.
Weighing just 1 kg and packing down to 35 cm, the Banshee UL1 is easy to attach to a backpack or bike frame, making it ideal for fast-paced adventures. Despite its minimal weight, it’s built to handle demanding conditions. Ripstop reinforcement is used throughout the tent, including the inner and the sewn-in bathtub groundsheet, providing dependable strength where it matters most. A 2000 mm waterproof rating keeps you protected when the weather turns.
PowerLite alloy poles provide a strong and stable structure while remaining compact and lightweight, giving confidence in exposed or windy camps. The tent pitches all-in-one, keeping the inner dry during setup, and can also be pitched flysheet-only for a stripped-back shelter on lightweight trips. Inside, a side porch offers useful storage for packs and wet gear, helping keep your sleeping space organised. Mesh ventilation panels improve airflow and help manage condensation for a more comfortable night’s sleep.
Celebrating 60 years of innovation from Vango and Force Ten, the Banshee UL1 is a thoughtfully designed ultralight tent that focuses on what truly matters. When weight and space are limited, it’s a reliable companion that earns its place on any adventure.
