3F UL Gear Kangaroo 2P tent
Compared to Vidalido Land Yu tent
- the 3F UL tents:
- have poles which are MUCH EASIER to set up and pack up as they are essentially two half sets which join at each end
- have poles which are much less rigid and do flex a LOT so would not be useful for putting heavier clothes on top, or use in unprotected wind
- have better quality materials - more secure clip bases, thicker fabric (230G vs 130G), mesh and floor (210D 3000mm PU vs 200D 2500mm PU)
- are wider and taller and have a slightly asymmetric design with rear side slightly lower to allow fitting better in tents with sloping rear doors
- but do not have a power cord zipper
- are significantly heavier due to the fabric
- fasteners have reflective components to see them better at night (need to add these yourself to the Vidalido zips)
- supplied with a ground sheet (don't get one with the Vidalido)
- large storage areas at each end are elevated rather than just above the tub floor
- have a 1P version as well as a 2P version
