The Icarus 400 and 500 tents are a brand new design of family tent for Vango which they have launched in 2009. They have designed these innovative four and five man tents with the intention of providing the end user with a generous living area. It can be pitched as one and has a pitching time of ten minutes making this a great tent to take away on a last minute weekend adventure or even a week long holiday. The Icarus 400 is tall enough for a small adult but the Icarus 500 has increased head height and allows anyone over even six foot to stand up comfortably. That means that this camping tent provides a more comfortable place to retreat to when the weather is poor or even after a long day in the sun. The key features of the Vango Icarus are as follows:
• The tents have a simple 3 pole no hassle construction, the poles are Powerflex Fibreglass and they have a Protex 2000 Polyester flysheet. This gives a 2000mm hydrostatic head offering the highest of protection from the elements.
• The groundsheet is fully sewn in to keep out the wind and rain, and also the creepy crawlies.
• The Icarus 400 and 500 have single sleeping areas comfortably sleeping four and five people respectively.
• The internal groundsheet is has a 10000 hydrostatic head so that the inner tent remains dry and warmer.
• The Icarus has the tension band system (TBS) which helps to keep the tent sturdy in poor weather conditions
• They have the “crystal clear” windows, which help maximise the amount of light getting into the living area.
• The continuous pole sleeve also helps to provide extra strengthening to the stability of the tent.
This tent certainly lives up to its name, Icarus flew to the sun and this tent reaches for the sky. It is destined to be one of the best selling family tents in the Vango range for 2009.
