Vango Skye 500 Tent 2025

The Vango Skye 500 is a lightweight and compact 5-person tunnel tent designed for weekend trips, festivals, and short camping getaways. With a simple three-pole structure and colour-coded PowerFlex® fibreglass poles, pitching is quick and straightforward. A large porch area provides essential storage space, while the Lights-Out bedroom minimises early morning light for a more restful sleep. Made from Vango’s Protex® 70 Denier Polyester Flysheet with a 3,000mm hydrostatic head, this tent offers excellent waterproof protection for camping in all conditions.

Porch Area, Canvas & Waterproof Flysheet

The Skye 500’s extended porch area offers a versatile space for storing gear or relaxing under cover. The tent is made from Vango’s Protex® 70D polyester flysheet, which provides excellent durability and waterproof protection. A linked-in groundsheet keeps the porch dry and clean, and it can be rolled back when not needed. Crystal Clear windows brighten the space, making it a comfortable area for socialising or storing essentials.

✔ Linked-in groundsheet – Keeps the area dry but can be detached for flexibility.

Lights-Out Bedroom & Breathable Inner Tent

Designed for a better night’s sleep, the Lights-Out bedroom reduces early morning light, helping campers rest longer. The breathable polyester inner improves airflow, reducing condensation inside the tent. Inner storage pockets provide a handy space for keeping essentials like phones or torches close by.
