The Vango Altas 300 is a 3 person dome tent that is provided exclusively to Amazon.co.uk. The tent is black in colour and is water resistant with a rating of 3000 hydrostatic head. According to the manufacturer, it only takes 5 minutes to set up the tent.

Vango claims that the tent is made from fire retardant material with high levels of ventilation and inner storage pockets. The Atlas 300 has a small porch and two entrances, one at each end. Included with the tent are 10 pegs, some grommets, a handy tent repair kit and some spare guy line. The tent’s inner dimensions are 2.15 metres (7.05 feet) by 1.80 metres (5.91 feet) and it is 1.35 metres (4.43 metres) high.

There are 22 customer reviews on Amazon.co.uk at the time of writing with an average rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars. Most reviewers agree that the tent is easy to set up and is water proof. As a matter of fact, one woman said that her husband has used the tent in very bad weather, but no rainwater has penetrated the tent.

A reviewer wrote that he has used the tent at the Download Festival and it remained dry on the inside even during a thunderstorm. Another guy stated that he used the Atlas 300 in Bavaria and it survived a heavy thunderstorm without any issues. Another man wrote that his son has used the tent during a storm in Scotland and he did not have any problems whatsoever.

Although the Atlas 300 is designed as a 3 person tent, some reviewers are also of the opinion that 3 people will have to squeeze in a bit. Having said this, reviewers generally agreed that 2 people plus their rucksacks or luggage fit in just fine.

Most reviewers also agreed on the fact that the Altas 300 is fairly robust. One Amazon customer wrote that this tent is better than other cheap tents he owned. On the negative side, the same reviewer stated that the porch is a bit small.

One Atlas 300 owner wrote that he has used the tent while camping with his Scout troop. The guy said that having two doors made life easier in getting essentials in and out of the camp. In fact he stated that some of his fellow scouts passed positive comments on the usability of the tent.

A man wrote that the tent is spacious and tall and it gives him enough room to move about. The man also stated that being light, the tent is great for carrying around in a bicycle. Another guy wrote that he bought the Atlas 300 for motorcycle trips and he thinks that the tent is perfectly suitable for this purpose.

Quite a few users have commented on the fact that there are not enough pegs with the tent. This is indeed a pity as tent pegs can be bought fairly cheaply nowadays. One user also commented that the pegs that are included with the tent are a bit big and heavy so he decided to replace them with smaller and lighter ones. The same guy also commented that pitch up time is more on the order of 10 minutes than the 5 minutes the manufacturer claims.
