A roomy and easy to pitch base for 5 campers or festival-goers.
The Vango Icarus 500DLX's space and simplicity make it a very popular weekend tent for family camping or festival visits. The roomy sleeping space, large windows and effective ventilation mean it's a comfy shelter for any outdoor trips.
EASY PITCHING
The Icarus erects simply 'as-one' and the inner tent stays dry. Vango's Tension Band System makes it more stable in windy conditions.
STURDY CONSTRUCTION
The reliably waterproof flysheet and fully sewn-in groundsheet make sure the interior is dry, draught-free-and bug-free.
VERSATILE LAYOUT
The spacious front porch is great for storing gear, furniture, bikes etc, and large windows give great all-round visibility and let light in. A side mesh door allows for insect-free airflow, and the parallel-zip front door can extend out as a canopy using awning poles (not included).
TOTAL COMFORT
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.
An oversized carry-bag makes packing and storing simple.
(Please note: models from 2016 onwards do not feature the guyline tensioners shown in this video)

I had the 2018 version which was a great tent and stood up to harsh weather conditions.
The Tent Pegs supplied with most tents are useless in windy conditions.I purchased the really heavy tent stakes.
One time use, 3 guylines broke in a slight wind of 15-16 mph, tension system is useless, poles flex far to much, Inside tent has tiny tears all over the place at the seams
I have had nothing but trouble with this tent and during my first trip all poles snapped with a light breeze. Walking around the site, every Vango had the same issue whilst others were fine.
We bought one from go outdoors,brilliant tent with one exception,the tent pegs are woefully not fit for purpose,ours went airborne,resulting in unrepairable damage but replaced by go outdoors for free
Love this tent and waterproof, no leaks at all and stood up to Scottish gales and extreme rain with only one broken pole and a couple of little rips. It performed to its description of weekend tent.
Having decided to give the whole tent thing a go ,after years of caravanning,we decided to spend a bit more and get what we thought a good heard of brand. Wrong ! 1st night up ,leaks round side door
After one night in 25mph winds a guy rope broke and the poles bent to their limits. The second night through wind gusts of 35- 40 mph the TBS system works reasonably well except there isn't one at the
Pole split on second use while putting up tent. Did not stand up to windy conditions on recent trip-two more split poles and although rest of tent good quality and design, can't recommend due to this.
Bought this tent to use around Scotland. So it needed to be sturdy. It has just had it's first test, no leaks, 40mph winds had no effect. Superb. Roomy. Practical. Well made. I love it.
Have used the tent 3 times, broken/ split pole and broken zips. Expected better quality when paying out £300 for a bit of canvas. Have been put off the brand not the shop.
Got this tent for a family of 4, so far had really heavy rain and super high winds, no leaks of damage. The air tent next to us leaked all night! Amazing tent. Highly recommended
A great all round tent, easy to pitch and loads of room. Unfortunately we had a night of persistent wind and the poles snapped causing the tent to collapse, a problem we hear with all fibreglass poles
A nice size tent with some good points but been let down by poles persistently breaking when erecting. I have had 5 crack in the last 3 camping trips.
Love this tent. Great size, easy to pitch. Ample room for our family of 4. We bought the porch as well, which gives us great flexibility for longer trips. Very sturdy and dry in heavy wind and rain!
Fantastic tent to pitch. 4000mm HH was plenty for the heavy rain. Great Space throughout. The inner tent ripped on the second night and can no longer be closed and a ring on the ropes snapped.
Bought this tent and all the extra stuff needed for a a pair of o.a.p's who never camped for years after selling our caravan, but must say this tent is great. Used it 4/5 times last year for long weekends in all kinds of weather the British summer can throw at you, without any problems at all. Word of advice, if like me and the mrs, your new to camping make sure you buy all the other stuff to make your camping ENJOYABLE.
Amazing tent and can’t wait to enjoy many holidays in it with the family, very good size and easy to erect.
We bought this tent for a 9 day trip to Cornwall . On the 7th day we had tail end of hurricane Helena and it stood up very well to this storm .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."UNBELIEVABLE"Tent.worth every penny and more.
Bought this as a weekend tent when on offer.
Mum Dad and (large) boys of 19 16 and 4.
Easy to put up in 15 minutes
Plenty of room for all our cooking stuff clothing etc
Sat outside as weather kind...May have struggled if wet
Perfect for 3 nights camping but will stick to our vango illusion for big trips ??
An excellent tent for the money!! Had a little plastic ring snap on one of the guide wires but this was from 4 days of harsh constant wind, with an easy fix all tension was back.
