Celebrating 60 years of Vango and Force Ten heritage, the F10 Banshee UL1 reimagines one of the UK’s most iconic tent silhouettes into an ultralight, modern expedition shelter. For decades, the Banshee shape has protected adventurers everywhere — from coastal breezes to high mountain ridges. Now redesigned for 2026, this limited-edition UL version pushes the boundaries of lightweight design while retaining the legendary reliability of the original.
Built for hikers, mountaineers and minimalists seeking the highest performance in the smallest possible pack size, the Banshee UL1 features the Protex® 10.SRN 10D ripstop nylon flysheet, a silicone/PU-enhanced fabric that is ultralight, strong and 100% PFC-free, providing a 2000 mm HH waterproof rating without compromising environmental responsibility.
The updated external pole system with angled pre-bends increases internal volume while reducing overall weight. Combined with the tunnel construction, all-in-one pitching, PowerLite Plus alloy poles, and TBS Pro tension band system, the Banshee UL1 delivers exceptional stability in high winds despite its ultralight structure.
A ripstop nylon inner, 20D bathtub groundsheet (6000 mm HH), Dyneema guylines, alloy V-pegs, reflective detailing and smart internal organisation make this tent a highly capable shelter for UK wild camping, thru-hiking and mountain adventures. Quick to pitch in around 3 minutes, and with a trail weight of just 1.01 kg, it's engineered for pushing further, faster.
👉 Choose the F10 Banshee UL1 for ultralight performance, iconic heritage and expedition-ready stability — a modern classic for solo adventurers.
