The Vango Apex Compact 100 is an ultra-lightweight solo tent built for adventurers who refuse to compromise on shelter performance when every gram counts. At just 1.88 kg and packing into 30 cm pole sections, it’s one of the most packable tunnel tents in its class engineered around a 68D Protex Eco Ripstop flysheet made from recycled single-use plastics, rated to 3000 mm hydrostatic head with fully factory-taped seams, and structural rigidity delivered by Vango’s unique TBSII (Tension Band System) that braces the tunnel frame for stability in harsh weather. The 7001-T6 PowerLite alloy poles strike an ideal balance between strength and minimal weight, making this a serious 3-season shelter you can carry all day without feeling it.

Designed for the solo adventurer tackling Australian highland trails, bike-packing routes, remote 4WD track walk-ins, or ultralight camping alongside your caravan or motorhome for private overflow accommodation, the Apex Compact 100 earns its keep across a wide range of conditions. The O-shaped inner door opens with a single hand when you’re loaded up with gear, the part-mesh inner door panel keeps Australian insects out while circulating warm-night airflow, and high-visibility guylines mean you won’t trip over your own camp in the dark. The included Fast Pack tent bag clips directly to bike handlebars or pack straps, so it’s as ready for a Snowy Mountains single-track mission as it is for a fly-in wilderness camp in the Kimberley.
