Key features

AirSpeed® Valve system and easy access positioning - designed by Vango to inflate your AirBeams with even less effort.
4,000mm with fully taped seams
Flysheet and inner pitch together making it simple and quick to pitch and pack
The Vango patented TBS ®II – Tension Band System ensures that your tent performs in adverse conditions, especially strong, changeable winds. In calm conditions the system can be disconnected if desired. When tensioned, the bands brace the pole and prevent sideways movement. The buckles should be adjusted so that slack is removed, but not over tensioned, as this may deform the poles.
The ProTex 70 Denier polyester flysheet is a highly waterproof, durable and reliable fabric that will keep you dry and comfortable, and it's exclusive to Vango
Breathable polyester inner tent- the fabric allows condensation to pass through, ensuring a comfortable nights sleep
Lights Out Inner Tent - Darker fabric inner reduces the amount of early morning light
Lightweight and low bulk inner tent ground sheet which is perfect for sleeping and packing
The Beams in a Vango AirBeam create a strong and rigid tent structure combined with a very easy and quick pitch time.
Conveniently positioned inner tent pockets store snacks, torches or electronics
Large Diamond Clear PVC windows for maximum light and great visibility.
All Vango tents use fully fire retardant fabrics that meet the European EN5912 safety standard to give you peace of mind
We weather test each of our tents to the European standard EN5912, in a certified wind and rain test centre. This is to ensure they will perform in the worst of weather
Vango AirZone - High and low level ventilation panels combine to create a comfortable flow of air through the tent.
AirBeam Pump- A double action pump that will rapidly inflate your tent/awning. It comes with a pressure dial and a pressure release valve making it simple to get your AirBeam to the right pressure
Zipped entry point with Velcro tidies to run the cable to the lantern point and other electrical items
Lantern hanging point in the living area or inner tent
Simple system of independent beams, easy to inflate and maintain. Has no extra valves to open and close
Tunnel Tent - Designed for the greatest space to weight ratio.
All flysheet and groundsheet seams are factory taped, giving a water tight seal
PE groundsheets are robust and hardwearing. Ideal fabric to stand up to the rigours of the most active of campers
Fully sewn-in groundsheet adds to the comfort of your tent by providing a bug and draught free environment. The groundsheet is attached to the flysheet with an external storm skirt to provide all round protection.
Vango PowerFlex fibreglass poles - strong, light and reliable
By incorporating a pre-angled section into the AirBeam more internal space is achieved than with a standard arch. Additionally, the section braces effectively against side winds.
New from Vango, the pre-attached sun canopy provides a great place to relax, outside your tent, sheltered from either the sun or the rain. It's also a good covered space to store extra kit
Oversized carry bag made from 15% more material giving 50% more volume to make pack away easier
All flysheet and groundsheet seams are factory taped, giving a water tight seal
