Anyone got one of these and can recommend them?

Also is the inner door solid material or mesh?

I have considered the Laser but the pack size is so much bigger than the Helium according to the Terra Nova website (56cm long compared to 40cm).

Or should I get the Laser Comp, I will if it is going to be better quality than the Vango.

Come on, I know there are lots of backpackers on here!

I would ignore the pack-size - just put it in a stuff-sack and squish it down lots - you will probably end up reducing the amount of space by 50% (I did with my laser comp anyway).

I reckon most people would rate the laser-comp over the Vango, but they might just be brand-snobs.

Probably not much difference between them to be honest, the laser-comp is a bit lighter but I doubt you would notice is.

On another note, doesn't the laser-comp compare more to the Helium 100, and the laser to the Helium 200?

I'll be out in the lake district next week in my laser-comp. Weather looks like it's going to be pants, so hopefully I won't drown during my sleep ๐Ÿ™‚
