The Vango Icarus 500 tent is an easy to erect, spacious tent, with great adaptable living space. Unfortunately, when we used it in moderately high winds, the whole back end kept collapsing inwards resulting in a pole breaking! There is no central guy rope at the top of the pole arch to prevent this from happening, and there was nothing we could do except pack up. We were very disappointed that a company with Vango's experiance would produce a tent with this fault. We have complained to Vango, and await their response.
