Vango Skye 500 Tent 2024

Product Information

The Vango Skye is by far and away Vango’s best-selling tent; for the new season it has been made even better thanks to a new, more eco-friendly way of dying the fabric.

Not only does this help the environment by using less wate\r, but it also increases the colour sharpness of the tent for a longer period of time. The Skye is perfect for Festivals, weekend camps, scouts, schools and the list goes on. One of its standout characteristics is its sleep to storage ratio, not only can it happily accommodate a good number of campers but the front storage section means you haven’t got to sleep next to your kit and when the weather turns, there is still some room to relax.

The tent can be easily pitched by one person and because the tent pitches from the outside in, you don’t have to worry about getting the inner tent wet when setting up. You can see how this is done by watching our own Attwoolls Pitching video which talks you through the whole process.

The Skye tent comes in three different sizes (300, 400 & 500) so you can choose the size which is right for you. All models have darker bedrooms to increase your chance of staying asleep longer. A vent at the back of the tent helps reduce condensation and helps make the tent cooler when the sun rises. Crystal clear windows are located at the front of the tent and toggled curtains are also provided so that privacy can be acquired when needed. As standard, the tent has a Fast Pack Bag which makes packing away the tent a much easier process.
