Just pre-ordered the new 2011 Vango Tigris 800. Yep much more expnsive than the outgoing 2010, but 33% better hydrostatic head and other tweaks to go with it. Better colour too in my opinion (the blue).

Should be arriving end of Feb fingers crossed.

hi, i have had plenty of advice over the last couple of weeks and EVERY retailer has told me to get a 2010 model, so i did, i got a vango monte verde 900 for £488, the 2011 model is £699, same tent different colour, only other difference is the HH is now 6000 and the 2010 model is 5000

I know where you're coming from. Just picked up a 2010 Vango Kairos 400 off a retailer on eBay for £57 "perfect" (RRP 2010 was £150). Lichfield are taking over the tied arch range from Vango, and whilst there are improvements in HH (from 2000 to 5000), darkened inners, flymesh on outer door etc the changes just couldn't offset such a bargain. The old design seems to have better ventilation and possibly a more aero-dynamic shape too, even if the shape of the inner tent is restrictive...

We're glad we bought our other two tents before this year too, as there is nothing to compare with them in the 2011 range.
