I have an Exped Venus 2 Extreme that has had a lot of use over the past 4 years.. a lot !!! and it is still in as new condition except for a few small holes in the mesh caused by me..
We also have a Vango 3 man that we use on the motorcycle.. it is about 1 year old and has been used about 10 times and is "showing its age" already.. floor starting to show wear, a few threads fraying and a few stitches starting to come loose..
The Vango was $300 and the Exped $900.. The Exped will and has already lasted over 3 times as long and is worth the money..
I like the buy once cry once instead of buy twice cry twice more
