Guest's review of Vango Icarus 500 Tent

“This is almost a great tent but it's just not quite up...”

★★★☆☆

written by on 09/04/2011

This is almost a great tent but it's just not quite up to the job. I've had a number of poll breaks and although lashing a walking pole to the broken section and there after carrying spars has got us though Vango really should upgrade the poll system to something a bit tougher.



For the price I can't complain and this tent did successfully introduce my reluctant girlfriend to try camping. However for the 2011 session she wants to buy a more expensive model with alloy polls. Just goes to show that the cheapest is not always the best value in the long run.



A great shame for a company with a heritage of some fantastic mountaineering tents
