The Vango Alpha 250 is a capable 3-season, 2-person hiking and camping tent built for Australian conditions — from alpine weekends to coastal campsites. Its gothic arch pole structure using Vango PowerFlex® fibreglass poles delivers genuine stability and headroom in the porch area, while the Protex® 70D polyester flysheet with a 3000mm hydrostatic head rating and factory-taped seams ensures reliable protection through downpours and wind. The inner-first pitching system means you can pitch fast and stay dry, or run the inner alone on warm, still nights under the stars.

Designed for backpackers, hikers, and youth group leaders taking on trails across Australia, the Alpha 250 strikes the right balance between packability and liveable space at just 3.60kg. The linked-in groundsheet is easy to remove and clean after muddy off-road campsites, while Lights-out (Nightfall) bedroom panels block early morning light — essential when the sun rises at 5am on a Queensland summer trip. Its fire-retardant fabrics meet the European EN5912 standard, making it Scout Association recommended kit for supervised youth adventures as well as a solid choice for weekend warriors heading into the bush.
