(Sleeping Capacity 2 persons)
 
 
The
Tent
The
Banshee is a small, lightweight but durable tent
that can be used for hiking, extreme camping and
standard camping, it’s an all round tent that is so
simple and quick to erect but withstands the
elements amazingly well, weather its wind heavy
downpour or other, the Banshee stands like a rock in
the ground. Also the Banshee comes with very useful
points, for example: tensioning straps on each peg
point (TBS®), strong but lightweight alloy polls,
optional pockets that can be hung, very strong
elastics, a flowing ventilation system that is
adjustable and all this for the best point of all,
the price.

Verdict
Very good for
backpacking and general camping as it is warm and
cosy inside, but surprisingly spacious for the size
of it, extremely robust and hardwearing materials
have been used, and it even comes with a lifetime
guarantee. Perfect tent for one, two at a push ( you
would have to be good friends) but very good looking
tent that will give you a protective shell against
the worst elements and all for an astonishing price,
well worth the money!
