Has anyone used a Vango Tornado? I'm looking for a backpacking tent and this one looked good. http://www.vango.co.uk/products/tentsinfo.aspx?productid=106&modelid=81

Neither Live for the Outdoors, Trail or Country Walking magazines have tested the Vango Tornado. However, it is clear from the spec that this is certainly a good design and a very respectable weight at 3.2kg. The poles are alloy, rather than glassfibre, which means they are a little heavier but less likely to snap, particularly in cold conditions, and the pole configuration should produce a stable and spacious design. The extended porch appears particularly useful for gear storage in wet weather too. As this is an outer pitch first design it is also particularly good for pitching and striking in wet weather as you can easily keep the inner dry during this process.

My girlfriend says my down sleeping bag stinks, but I’m worried I’ll ruin the feathers if I wash it. How can I clean it?
