Your first adventure starts here. The Vango Iris 500 transforms weekend trips into unforgettable memories—five of you sleeping soundly in a tent that actually feels like home. Pitch it in minutes with its rock-solid fibreglass poles, then step inside to discover Queen-sized bedrooms that block out the dawn, letting you sleep in for once.
The massive diamond windows flood the interior with light on grey British mornings, while the Lights-Out® technology keeps it dark when you need rest. Whether you're a family of four plus a mate, or a group of friends seeking escape, the fully sewn-in groundsheet keeps bugs and draughts out so you can focus on what matters—laughing around the campfire.
The Sentinel Essential fabric laughs at rain with its 3,000mm waterproof rating, and the patented TBSII Tension Band System keeps everything steady when the weather turns moody. Quick to pack away in the oversized carry bag, ready for your next destination.
