Trail weight of 2.2kg (no bag and pegs separate).
Blacks reckon

Weight 2.4kg (trail weight 1.73kg)

the tent's 'trail weight' refers to the weight of only the outer flysheet, inner tent and poles. This could be useful in expedition circumstances, which may allow you to carry the tent without the pegs and bag.

That's -the additional ground sheet.

I guess I could just buy it, try fitting it on the bike and if it sucks, send it back essentially unused. How are Vango in general? I guess you rate them after your shenanigans?

In general, Vango are pretty good IMO. There are spare poles available.

They were a gateway drug for my partner, who still fancied camping after that as her first taste.

*It wasn't without its niggles, but the one we have has done all sorts of weather; from biblical rain to being left up for 2 weeks in 40c. It's not exactly been babied.
