The Vango Osiris Air 500 is one of the most functional weekend tents available, compact in size and has tons of features it really is an option which can’t be ignored. The Osiris has been based on the classic Icarus tent but with quite a few modern features, the most important of which is the rain safe canopy over the side door, this allows you to access the tent without letting the weather in with you. Arguably, this is one of the best vented tents in its range as not only do you have low & high level ventilation panels, but both entrances have full mesh doors, this really helps to keep those warm days cooler and bug free. The cherry on the cake is that the tent uses Vango’s new Eco fabric which is made entirely from single use plastic, so rather than the plastic going to waste it can now be made into tents. The Osiris is very easy to pitch (as seen from out Attwoolls Outdoors Pitching videos), the whole tent can be pitched by one person within 8 minutes making it perfect for weekend trips as well as those longer stays. Clear Access Bedrooms - A wider opening and lowered step over into the bedroom allows for easier access Inflating the Vango Osiris Air 500 with the provided pump (Image credit: Pat Kinsella) Design, stability and adverse weather Swedish brand Dometic is probably better known for its motorhome and campervan equipment, but its limited range of premium inflatable tents deserves more of the limelight, because their uniquely boxy design is game changing for tall people.

Most of plastic bottles in the UK are PET in fact we get through 13 Billion of them a year but they’re highly recyclable. Since the introduction of household recycling collections 57% compared to 1% in 2001 of the 13 Billion plastic bottles are now recycled. So, if you do take the time to separate your household rubbish, your small difference is already making an enormous difference. . You may think everyone does this, but I’ve noticed in our street that people only put out the bin for landfill. Drop Down Door Step - Effortlessly enter and exit your tent with the drop down doors. Perfect for pram and wheelchair access Part of a collaboration between the National Trust and Vango, this mightily impressive five-person inflatable tent is made using 301 recycled plastic bottles, making it one of the most eco-friendly designs we’ve seen. Impressively, Vango has calculated that the collaboration will see over 269,700 bottles collected and recycled this year.

Our collections by our couriers are happening as usual. As it stands, delivery times are not being affected too much. Please be aware though that Royal Mail and other couriers are sometimes prioritising essential items so please bear with us if your delivery takes slightly longer than expected. We love the use of pale grey for the roof material in the living area, as it helps to make the space feel lighter and brighter, but don’t think of it as thin, because it’s one of the more waterproof designs on the market (6,000mm hydrostatic head) and with fully taped seams you won’t be getting wet. TBSII Tension Band System A three-point band system braces the Vango AirBeam structure to ensure these tents perform in adverse conditions, especially in strong changeable winds. Covered Side Door - Provides a sheltered entrance to your tent, which prevents rain from dripping in

New! Mesh Doors - Both Living room doors have integrated mesh panels that increase the flow of air within your tent while keeping the bugs out. Nightfall Bedrooms - Helps reduce early morning light so your sleeping pattern doesn't need to be dictated by the sunrise While inflatable beams may bend in challenging conditions, at least they’ll never snap, unlike poles Sentinel Eco Fabric- Vango have focused developing their fabric with the environment in mind and have taken single use plastic waste and transformed it into their all new Sentinel Eco Fabric (more detail on how they have done this below). As noted above, while an air tent may well move around a bit more in high winds, at least the beams won’t snap – which can be a problem with pole tents, either in very extreme conditions or as a result of an accident (reversing your car over them), or incorrect usage.

Double Mesh doors – Both living room doors have integral mesh to increase airflow while keeping the bugs out While not designed for the worst possible conditions, the 2,000mm water-resistant polyester flysheet has taped seams and will laugh in the face of rain, stay grounded in high winds, and provide an excellent shelter for a young family. Every family or social bubble needs a large tent, which acts as a portable basecamp when you are exploring an outdoor area for a few days. The best bases are the ones that are easy and hassle-free to set up, functional to use and spacious enough to supply shelter not just for sleeping, but also for housing the group if the weather turns, and you need somewhere dry to play games and eat meals until the rain showers blow over.

Fully sewn-in groundsheet A bug and draught-free environment is created by this seam, adding to the comfort of all campers.The groundsheet is attached to the flysheet with an external strom skirt to provide all round protection. Fully Wind & Rain Tested - Weather tested to standard EN ISO 5912 for peace of mind. This tent is suitable for use in wet and windy weather. Cautionary level storms and extreme weather should be avoided I didn’t see this as a negative, because what I heard and saw was a passion to move to alternatives ASAP, once it was viable to do so, an enthusiasm for constant development, not an attitude of ‘we’ve done enough’. In every other respect – in terms of robustness of fly and ground sheet, zips, mesh etc – there is no real difference between air and pole tents. This is another draw. Transportation
