Vango Odyssey Family Tunnel Tent

Product Information

One interesting feature of this inflatable Odyssey 500 is the addition of an “ AirZone.” Using high and low-level ventilation panels, the Vango team have made sure that you get plenty of air conditioning and fresh circulation into your tent while you’re sleeping. This keeps your risk of condensation or overheating to a minimum. Vango has many tents in the Odyssey series, some are with classic solid poles and some are with inflatable beams. You can see this Vango 6 Person Odyssey Air 600 Tent as a great example of the tents with inflatable beams. No, this is probably condensation. Make sure the tent is properly ventilated to keep condensation at a minimum.

The tent is perfect for groups and for parents with kids. The sitting area is a nice space to organize life in the camp. The shell fabric: They use what they call a specifically designed Sentinel Active Plus fabric. According to their statements, it is a strong 70D polyester with a 4000 mm HH rating. This is more than you will ever need. All seams are factory sealed. Note that in their more technical and smaller tents they use ProTex fabric which can be either nylon or polyester. Tunneltype: You have 3 pre-angled air beam arches that support the tent and this gives it its tunnel profile and a high ceiling in the bigger part of the tent, with 76.8 inches (195 cm) of height.Standing 6.6 feet high and providing 2-3 separate spaces, the Odyssey 600 from Vango is a reliable tent that can sleep up to 6 sardined campers in the sleep area. We like the dual front and side doors on the 97.5 square foot living compartment, making entry and exit simple for everyone at any time. The flap from the front access can also be propped up with tent poles to provide a small awning over the entrance. As one of the first tents we tested, we were really blown away by the Vango Odyssey Airbeam 600 Inflatable Tent (quite a mouthful, but it more than lives up to its superior name!). Unless you happen to be a master at pitching tents, an inflatable tent can be a great way to save yourself a lot of time and effort. However, these camping accessories are also often more expensive than the cumbersome traditional tents. Key Factors to Consider

A top of the line brand of outdoor shelters, Vango Odyssey AirBeam tents are some of the most sought-after for their ease of use and inflatable technology. These tents are available in various models and sizes, with some employing tunnel designs, and others sporting large multi-functional awnings. Generous Floor Area: The tent offers a spacious floor area of 160 ft² (14.88 m²), providing ample space for both sleeping and living. This equates to approximately 32 ft² (3 m²) per person, which is a reasonable and comfortable allocation of space. Whether you’re camping with family or friends, everyone can enjoy their own designated area within the tent. But I would not use this tent in areas with snow. The mentioned TBS II system will stabilize it laterally, but the tent cannot withstand pressure on the roof. With a declared capacity of 5 people, the Vango 5 Person Odyssey Air 500 Tent is designed to comfortably accommodate a group of campers. Let’s take a closer look at its size and floor plan to understand if it meets your needs: The pre-angled beams are straight on the sides, so the tent looks like a tunnel-cabin hybrid. But I have included it in my list of best tunnel-type tents.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

Linked-in groundsheet - Easy to clean groundsheet that can be attached or detached from the living area. Simply roll under the bedroom area when not required. The Vango 5 Person Odyssey Air 500 Tent is a well-designed camping tent. That offers easy setup, spaciousness, and reliable weather protection. So if you want to learn more about this great ‘lil tent (it was our TopNotch Editor’s Choice, after all), you’ll love this guide.Hook the elastic holding pole sections at the end nearest the broken section and pull out so knot can be undone (or if necessary cut off) Both options are pretty stable, but the AirBeam inflatable tents have more “give” in windy conditions due to their air filled poles, that flow with the wind, rather than resisting it. Equipped with large panoramic windows to help you make the most of the scenery and a separate bedroom with 5-person sleeping capacity, this temporary home is sure to be a must-have for your next camping trip. Lights out design: This is the term Vango uses for their tents with dark rest (or dark room) design. This means that you have an external waterproof shell tent, plus an inner smaller cocoon area with a darker material. So when you close the tent completely, the glare is reduced and you can sleep longer in the morning. For this metric, we were pleasantly surprised at how well many of our models held up in rough weather. In particular, the Vango Odyssey and Heimplanet Cave really outdid themselves in all environments
