The Vango Skye 500 is a 5-man tunnel tent designed for practicality and comfort. With its three-pole structure and easy pitching system, it offers great use of space and a compact pack size, making it ideal for festivals, weekend trips, or short breaks with family or friends. The large porch area is perfect for storing gear or relaxing, while the Lights-Out bedroom ensures a better night’s sleep by reducing early morning light.
Spacious Porch and Functional Design
The Skye 500 features a generous porch with a linked-in groundsheet that keeps the area clean and dry. The groundsheet can also be rolled back when not needed, offering flexibility. Crystal Clear windows brighten the porch space, creating a welcoming area for gear storage or socialising.
Comfortable Sleeping Area
The Lights-Out bedroom helps block out early light, allowing for longer and more restful sleep. The breathable polyester inner ensures good airflow, reducing condensation for added comfort. Convenient inner pockets keep essentials like phones or torches close at hand, keeping the sleeping area organised.
Durable Materials and Quick Setup
Made with Vango’s Protex® 70 Denier Polyester Flysheet, the Skye 500 offers excellent waterproofing with a 3,000mm hydrostatic head rating. Colour-coded PowerFlex® fibreglass poles make pitching straightforward, while the TBS®II Tension Band System provides additional stability during windy conditions.
