Vango Icarus 500 Deluxe Family Tent with Separate Bedroom, Living Area and Porch, 5 Man Tent, Camping Tent for 5 People, Camping Equipment, Green, One Size

Product Information

The ground sheet rises up further than the previous version and at first we kept tripping up going in and out. It is easy to pitch, comfortable and spacious, making it suitable for beginners and occasional campers. The spacious front porch is great for storing gear, furniture, bikes etc, and large windows give great all-round visibility and let light in.

The knots in the cord were not big enough and pulled through a couple of times leaving a loose pole section.

The Vango Icarus 500 DLX is one those ‘old-school’ tents that try to deliver on the promise of being a 5-berth tent. I also spray it with Fabsil every year and it's never leaked, even in some pretty horrendous weather. A side mesh door allows for insect-free airflow, and the parallel-zip front door can extend out as a canopy using awning poles (not included).

One of the poles developed a small crack after about a year but we just wrapped some duct tape around it and never had another issue. It fits onto the front of the Vango Icarus 500 DLX, adding an extra 10 square metres to the already spacious living space, increasing the overall size to above 15 square metres. The only criticism I could say was the poles were a little week and over the years we owned it they ended up splitting. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.Tent had a small tear on outer tent where you use a peg I have tried telling Black's this could be resolved with a patch I am going back on holiday next week and they couldn't guarantee me having same tent by then. The Eurohike Rydal 500 on the other hand is less expensive, although less attractive in its features.

This tent has excellent space and many great features like the fully sewn in groundsheet, storage pockets, windows and the nightfall inner. This 5-person tent from Vango is a great option for long camping adventures offering spacious and comfortable accommodation for up to 5 people.

The breathable inner fabric allows for condensation to pass through, ensuring that you stay dry and comfy. Just back from a very wet week in Cornwall and only a few drips of rain in living area, because front guy rope came out overnight. I went camping for a week and the weather was awful all week, heavy rain and wind, the tent stood like it was made from bricks, not a single droplet leaked in.

This means it is relatively easy to carry, and does not take up a lot of precious boot space in the back of your car.

The Vango Icarus 500DLX's space and simplicity make it a very popular weekend tent for family camping or festival visits.
