The Vango Omega 250 is a 2 man backpacking tent designed for backpackers who carry more kit and spend longer out in the elements. Its tunnel construction creates a surprisingly spacious interior for a 2-man tent, while keeping pitching quick and weight manageable. The standout feature is the extra-large porch, supported by an additional pole, giving you valuable storage space for rucksacks, wet clothing and cooking gear.

Whether you’re heading out on a multi-day hike, a DofE expedition or a challenging campsite pitch, the Omega 250 delivers a reassuring balance of durability, comfort and practicality.

Flysheet & Waterproofing

The Vango Omega 250 Tent uses ProTex® Eco Ripstop fabric, made from recycled single-use plastics without sacrificing performance. With a 3000mm hydrostatic head and fully taped seams, it provides dependable protection from prolonged rain while remaining tough enough for repeated use.

Flysheet benefits include:

• ProTex® Eco Ripstop – durable, waterproof and environmentally conscious

• 3000mm HH rating – ideal for wet UK conditions

• Fully taped seams – reliable, watertight protection

• Diamond Clear windows – bright, airy feel inside

Mesh-covered vents at each end encourage airflow, reducing condensation on long, damp nights.

Inner Tent & Groundsheet Protection

Inside, the Vango Omega 250 Tent focuses on comfort after a hard day on the trail. The breathable polyester inner and mesh panels improve ventilation while keeping insects out. The bathtub-style groundsheet rises 10cm up the inner, offering extra reassurance in heavy rain or saturated ground.

Inner tent features:

• Breathable inner fabric – reduces condensation

• Partial mesh doors – airflow without bugs

• Bathtub groundsheet – keeps water out in harsh weather

• 6000mm HH groundsheet – tough, waterproof and easy to clean

Internal storage pockets keep essentials close at hand when space matters.

Structure, Stability & Ease of Pitching

Built to handle changeable weather, the Vango Omega 250 Tent uses PowerLite alloy poles made from 7001-T6 aluminium, offering excellent strength-to-weight performance. Colour-coded poles and all-in-one pitching make setup straightforward, even in poor conditions.

Stability features include:

• TBSII Tension Band System – braces the tent against strong winds

• High-visibility reflective guylines – safer in low light

• High-grip guyline adjusters – easy, one-handed tensioning

• Lightweight alloy pegs – strong and dependable

Dual side doors improve access and create a more usable living space on longer trips.

Size, Weight & Practical Storage
