Effective venting and a breathable inner avoid stuffiness inside, and 'comfort colours' (darker over the bedroom) mean there's no rush to get out of an overheating tent on bright mornings. There is a good space between the inner sleeping quarters compartment and the outer, so I am assuming less chance of condensation from touching surfaces. The breathable inner fabric allows for condensation to pass through, ensuring that you stay dry and comfy.

The Eurohike Rydal 500 on the other hand is less expensive, although less attractive in its features. The second holiday we had a mixture of rain/wind and a heatwave (yes all in 15 days but expected in the UK). Snapped tension bands, guy rope tighteners did not hold, leaks via side door, awning ripped from trim near clips, another clip had failed stitching, stitching incomplete around one of sleeping compartment doors. There are quite a few options, that’s why I prefer 5-berth tents over the 4-berth tents, and, in some cases, they can be more versatile than a 6-berth tent. The spacious front porch is great for storing gear, furniture, bikes etc, and large windows give great all-round visibility and let light in.Yes it made the floor more 'homely' but because we were on a very sloght slope it just kept slipping all over. A great option for family adventures the Vango Icarus offers spacious and comfortable accommodation for up to 5 people. A great option for family camping trips the Vango Icarus offers spacious and comfortable accommodation for up to 5 people. Easy to pitch, ‘as one’ structure with generous living area, this tent will create an ideal base for your weekend adventures.

Easy to pitch, prepared to do it myself but helped by a couple of other campers, would be able to do it easily a second time. If you are not sure what does the HH rating means, I recommend this explainer post: Tent materials, fabrics, specifications and all the acronyms. It has several features that make it suitable for various weather conditions, including Vango AirZone ventilation, which helps you stay cool and comfortable in warm climates.

This version has very light carbon fibre rods though we had some trouble sorting them out since the inner retaining bungee cords had slipped out completely on two rods sets.

NEGATIVES: Front door hooks are high up so I extended them with a hair band loop to reach door toggle more easily. They used it for the first time recently and loved it so I am sure it will see a good few more camping trips yet.The reliably waterproof flysheet and fully sewn-in groundsheet make sure the interior is dry, draught-free-and bug-free. The wind was unbelievable and the rain was,but the tent was bone-dry and the tent took a real hammering it was very scary,there was no damage to the tent when we checked in the morning.
