Product Information

This should give you a good idea visually of the different designs, plus an overview of the specifications allow you yo pinpoint your need, whether its square footage, weight, height or design features etc. At the end of the day, there are plenty of great inflatable tents on the market, but this has to be our favorite. Part Mesh Bedroom Door - Zipped mesh window allowing additional ventilation, whilst keeping bugs out The Vango Odyssey 500 is made using Protex 3,000HH polyester that is durable. It is also waterproof making it ideal for all year round. The groundsheet is made using polyethylene 10,000HH that is comfortable and strong enough for pitching on almost all terrains. The factory taped seams on both the flysheet and groundsheet have been known to provide the best water tight seal. It also has an Airspeed Valve system for inflating airbeams with less effort. Overall, we think that the Portal Outdoor Alfa tent is the best product out there. Undergoing extensive tests against a range of conditions, you know that this tent will provide adequate protection wherever you wish to use it. This is made sure by its sewn-in groundsheet and the high-quality materials with which is made.

Like most things in life, when you decide that you do want to invest in an air tent, the next thing you’ll have to do is figure out what kind of features you can’t do without. There are many different inflatable tents to choose from on the market, and each option comes with its own features to consider. Most tents take a traditional approach in their construction, which use a fabric shell attached to a fiberglass or steel frame. As the outdoor industry evolves, so too does the design of outdoor shelters, with comfort and convenience being the top priorities when developing a great tent. It is for these reasons that Vango’s Odyssey tents not only has traditional pole tents, but also inflatable tents. 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 don't get me wrong,the tent as a whole is brilliant. There is even a little built in hole to put the EHU hook up cable through. Cable entry port is on the side, you can see its position on the picture with the floor plan given above.View into the sleeping area.This is why the tent is a hybrid double-single layer where the sleeping area is a double-layer part. The picture below shows the floor plan and the most important dimensions. The floor plan and the most important dimensions. Materials This Vango Airbeam tent really excelled in our first three tests, proving that airbeam tents can not only beat our traditional pole tents for Ease Of Set-Up (something they always excel at), but also Weather Resistance and Comfort too. This convenient and reliable inflatable Airbeam tent offers families everything they need for a convenient and reliable camping experience. The inflatable air beam structure means that you don’t have to worry about poles when you’re setting up your tent. All you need to do is get your tent out of its case and it will be ready to go in a matter of minutes. While the tent does lose some structural integrity from the absence of tent poles, it also means there is no chance the poles themselves will puncture the tent fabric if something heavy falls on the tent.

It was this uncompromising excellence across all three that encouraged us to give this tent our TopNotch Editor’s Choice Award. Vango AirZone™ - High and low level ventilation panels combine to create a comfortable flow of air through the tent. Air circulation is essential for reducing condensation The curved design gives you more interior space, and you get 6.7 feet of peak height headroom to stand up without crouching. While you can fit 4 people in it, 2 is a more ideal figure when it comes to comfort. A large mesh door opens up to a 55.5 square foot living area, and a secondary zippered door give access to an additional 63.5 square feet of room where you can sleep. Villa Construction - Upright side walls increase the height within the tent allowing you to fully maximise the internal spaceIn any case, you have a manual double-action pump included, and one person can pitch it in under 10 minutes or so. I have included this tent in my list of best inflatable tents. Note that there is one short solid pole added to support a brim above the door so you have a dry entry design. Vango makes a few different sizes of their inflatable Odyssey AirBeam tents. These would be the Air 400, Air 500, Air 500SC, Air 500 Villa, Air 600, and Air 600SC. What is the tunnel tent feature?
