While not designed for the worst possible conditions, the 2,000mm water-resistant polyester flysheet has taped seams and will laugh in the face of rain, stay grounded in high winds, and provide an excellent shelter for a young family. The Vango Osiris Air 500 is an inflatable AirBeam tent in the inspiring Vango Earth Collection. The most important feature to brag to our customers about is that all the Vango Earth tents are made from recycled single use plastics, like plasric bottles and straws. If you choose one of the Earth tents from this fabulous Vango range, you are definitely doing your bit to help the environement, whilst still having great family adventures away. Here's a brief overview of the specifications, but carry on reading below for detail to help you decide if this is the right Vango Earth tent for you! It is huge for a three-person tent, and ideal for a young family or luxury-focused campers. The living area has space for big chairs, camping table, stove and all the kitchen paraphernalia you could ever want. Also, thanks to a capacious secret storage area accessed through a zipped door in the bedroom, you can keep everything out of the way until needed. It is a shame that the storage area is inaccessible from outside, though. Fully Wind & Rain Tested - Weather tested to standard EN ISO 5912 for peace of mind. This tent is suitable for use in wet and windy weather. Cautionary level storms and extreme weather should be avoided

This kind of performance will of course vary between tent brands and individual designs and models, and not all air tents will be equipped with these straps, leaving them more prone to bending in the wind. However, while they may bend, inflated tubes will not snap, so that’s one thing less to worry about. All things considered, we’re going to call this one a draw. Take down While inflatable beams may bend in challenging conditions, at least they’ll never snap, unlike poles Vango’s Earth Collection has been designed to be environmentally friendly and durable, the entire range is made from single use plastics and every tent has an equivalent plastic bottle total to help show what Vango can create from just a small amount of waste. The Eco fabric has a waterproof rating of 3,000mm HH and UV protection factor of UPF30+, if this wasn’t enough the fabric also has ColourLok which aids colour retention from UV light.Because they all tend to stand pretty tall, and are more often tunnel- rather than a geodesic- (half dome) shaped, family sized pole tents and air tents both rely heavily on tensioning at either end to stay up, and guy ropes all around to stay stable during high winds. The new Vango Osiris Air 500, 5-man tent is an inflatable AirBeam® tent within our new Earth Collection. The new collection launches our Sentinel Eco Fabric, made from recycled single use waste plastic. Key features include an extended living area, providing a spacious environment and both living room doors have mesh panels, which increases the airflow, whilst keeping the bugs out. Another feature is the covered entrance, preventing rain from entering the living area. Queen sized bedrooms, designed with a wider entrance, with no step over into the bedroom and the Nightfall inners are designed to reduce early morning light.

With the tag sustainability usually comes a large price tag, and Vango have managed to keep the Earth Collection affordable and within the reach of most people. That said, I’m not asking you to throw out your gear and replace it with the Earth collection, that would be counterproductive. If you do plan on buying some new gear in the coming season, then do please consider buying something from Vango Earth Collection.

The Earth Collection chairs are all made from EcoStem fabric which Recycled Polyester Fabric with an Embossed Grass Design - Made from 100% recycled single use waste plastics. We saw the Earth Collection earlier in the year, and we’d fallen in love with the entire range, we couldn’t wait to speak to the guys at Vango. We had an interesting meeting and chatted about:….. Tents are sized by the number of adults they can feasibly sleep (two-, four-, six-person, etc), but unless you’re looking for an ultralight adventure tent for one person, the rule of thumb is that if you halve the stated person number, you’ll get the number of adults the tent will actually sleep comfortably. A four-person tent will give two adults plenty of extra space for bags and not being squashed, but if you’re camping with kids a six-person tent (with separate bedrooms) is ideal.
