Hey folks - here's my review after a year of testing out the nifty little Vango F10 Project Hydrogen. 700g, twin-walled, no tent poles and surprisingly spacious. As mentioned, it's super well suited for bikepackers and cyclists but also a nice option for lightweight backpackers or any other muddy pastimes. It's not all perfect though - the review will explain more. Feel free to drop a comment with any other questions - or just to say hi!

Not only a review, this was also the best tutorial I found on how to use this tent. Thank you!
-
Love your videos, I;m wondering what model Sele SMP saddles you use ?
-
That’s a great bit of kit mate 👍🏻

Helpful video Josh; cleared up a couple of tent internal things that I was finding hard to work out. However, please note that the brief instructions inside the bag say don't blow the arch up with your lungs as the breath moisture will accelerate degradation of the material over time. But it also says the method for using the bag to inflate the arch is to blow into the bag but from a distance - not sure how that will work but a decent mini pump doesn't take long - which is just as well as I haven't managed to work out how to fit the bag adapter to the arch valve 🤷♂️🤔🤣

I went and viewed this tent today but was undecided. Having watched your review I’m sold, sounds perfect for my short bikepacking trips. Great video, I’ve subscribed to your channel 👍

Nice review 👌
-
Super, in-depth review with great info.
-
Thanks for the video. I bought the tent and appreciate your instructions on setting up and putting it away. Much appreciated
-
Great video. Cheers 👍🙏
-
Just bought this tent on the back of your solid and thorough review. thanks for the detail, really helpful. I've gone for the additional groundsheet to prolong the life of it too.
-
Subbed. Thx. Looking firward to your journeys
-
For a failsafe pitch, you might consider running some light line between the two ends of the air beam, set to the right length for an optimal pitch. That makes it trivial to put in the first two pegs the right distance apart.
-
Fantastic video mate - thank you so much
-
I was going to get a rab hooped bivy then decided to invest more money to get one of these instead for bike packing and hiking.
-
It is insanely UL, however i feel like it comes with way too many cons. For the price of it now I'd just get a DCF tent.
-
Great review. I love my Vango F10 Airbeam. I was interested to see you're not using the footprint. I got one with my tent as I think it was only £12 more at the time and I've always used it. How's the bottom of your tent held up without it? Am I bringing something I don't need with me?
-
What airbed did you use? thanks for the pitching tutorial!
-
Why's everything so blurry?
-
This review was done 1 year ago and the guy states that he paid £500 for the tent. It’s now £680 on the Vango website. That’s an increase of £180 or 36% in 1 year. Come on Vango, that’s just being greedy.
