Force Ten

Force 10 Tents from Vango

Vango is synonymous with quality outdoor clothing and equipment and for over 35 years has specialised in the production and supply of technical equipment and accessories to the outdoor trade.

Force Ten Vortex

Vango's heritage dates back to the initial production of lightweight mountaineering tents in the early 1960s.

In 1967 the infamous Force Ten tents were introduced to the world, with their distinctive bright orange colour.

The Force Ten's remain a favourite used by expedition groups, due to their high quality construction, optimal stability and unbelievable durability.

The Vango collection for 2002 sees the development of a range that is marked with technical innovation, quality and guaranteed reliability.

The Force Ten Vortex is a new addition to Vango's expedition range of tents, which is designed to withstand extreme conditions.

Its Hytex SPU Xtreme flysheet is tough and totally waterproof and the Tri-Support System (TSS) is a revolutionary stabilising pole system, which adds significantly to the stability of upright alloy poles.

TSS works by supporting the inside of the pole arch to combat side winds and pressure and is removable to save weight in expedition conditions.

The self-standing geodesic construction of the Force Ten Vortex is very stable in high winds.

Top British mountaineer, Alan Hinkes has chosen to take a Force Ten Vortex tent with him on his latest expedition to climb the north face of Annapurna.

Following his expedition, Hinkes will be providing technical feedback on the performance of the tent to help Vango further improve and develop its range of products suitable for expeditions.

Vango was also selected as the official tent supplier for the 72-hour adventure challenge race - The Red Bull Northern Exposure in the Cairngorm Mountains last month, where the Vango Force Ten Vortex tents were used at checkpoints throughout the course.
