## Description

Product Description Spacious Freedom for Family Adventures The Hi-Gear Vanguard 8 Nightfall Tent Sleep up to 8 in true weatherproof comfort with the Hi-Gear Vanguard, a tunnel-style family tent built for UK camping and festivals. Nightfall darkened bedrooms block early light for longer sleep, while a fully waterproof 6000mm HH flysheet - higher-rated than comparable 8-person tents - keeps everyone dry. Five strong steel poles pitch quickly with no experience needed, and a sewn-in groundsheet, mesh door, and durable 150D Oxford fabric make it built to last, season after season. Stand-out features Space for Modern Living Featuring two power access points, a large central living area, multiple storage pockets and lantern hanging points, this tent supports all your family’s camping needs. Charge devices, organise essentials and enjoy plenty of indoor space for relaxing together during any trip. All‑Weather Protection With a robust 6000mm hydrostatic head and durable 150D Oxford fabric, this tent ensures dependable waterproofing for heavy rain and windy conditions. Its hardy build makes it a long‑lasting choice for family camping holidays, keeping everyone dry, safe and comfortable outdoors. Bright, Spacious Living - Easy to Pitch Five strong steel poles and a tunnel-style design mean two people can have this tent up in around 30 minutes - no technical experience needed. Once pitched, it holds its shape reliably through wind and rain, so you can focus on the trip rather than the setup. Nightfall Sleep Comfort Nightfall darkened bedrooms block early sunlight for longer, more restful sleep on family camping trips - no more waking the whole tent at 5am. Combined with a fly mesh door and sewn-in groundsheet, it also keeps insects and damp out, for a genuinely cosy night whatever the campsite conditions. Smart Features for Comfortable Camping Durable & Secure Fixings Reinforced guy points & secure clip fixings keep the flysheet taut and the tent stable through wind and rain, so it holds its pitch night after night. 10 Internal Storage Pockets Ten pockets throughout the bedrooms and living area keep torches, phones, & everyday essentials off the groundsheet and within easy reach in the dark. 3 Lantern Handing Points Hang a lantern exactly where you need light, whether that’s over the living area for evening games or by the bedroom for a late-night read. Dual Cable Access Points Run power safely into the tent from two access points, so you can power lighting, gadgets, or a cool box without leaving a gap for drafts or rain.

Review: Great spacious tent - Great tent very spacious would highly recommend
Review: Spacious but not the most hard-wearing. - Lovely tent. The space in it is brilliant. Blackout bedrooms work better than other tents I've seen. Plenty of windows and storage pockets are great. Also folds down easily and fits in its bag easily. Me and my husband can put it up / down in half hr. Wouldn't be able to manage one your own, but with 1 other person it's easily done. I have taken stars off for its durability. Our old tent was a vango and in its countless uses we never had a tear or issue with it. We only got a new tent as wanted bigger. This tent we have used twice and had few small problems. The first time one of the camp chairs made a small hole the floor (I have now bought the ground sheet and carpet to prevent this happening again), the pegs that come with it are quite poor (so we have bought more) , one of the hooks you put the pegs through snapped. On the second use the elastic inside one of the poles came out (we can still just slot it in). So with all these little things, the tents still usable and good. I would just say this tent is not quite as robust and hard wearing as the vango tents. We haven't treated this one any different to our last one. I'm not sure I'd advise buying as it's not cheap and I'm not sure how long it'll last.
