Vango Apex Compact 100 Tent

The Apex Compact 100 is Vango's one-person technical tent and the evolution of the hugely popular Nevis. It keeps the proven tunnel shape but shortens the pole sections to shrink the pack size, making it a natural partner for the bike-ready Fast Pack handlebar bag. It sits at the entry point of the Apex Compact range, below the two-berth Apex Compact 200 and three-berth Apex Compact 300.

The flysheet is upgraded to Protex Eco Ripstop, a 68 denier polyester made from recycled single-use plastics, waterproof to 3000mm with fully taped seams. Paired with a 6000mm bathtub groundsheet, PowerLite alloy poles and Vango's TBSII bracing system, the Apex Compact 100 is a dependable, lightweight shelter for solo trekking, bikepacking and wild camping.
