The Vango Tahoe 500 is a fantastic 5 person poled tent designed for families and small groups seeking a reliable and comfortable base for festivals, weekend getaways or extended holidays. Built to deliver comfort and performance, this 5-person tent features Vango’s attention to detail, making it the ideal tent for your next camping adventure.
Materials & Waterproofing – Eco Fabric with Reliable Protection
Made with Sentinel DynamicWeave™ fabric, the Vango Tahoe 500 combines 70D and 100D polyester threads for enhanced durability and performance. With a 4,000mm Hydrostatic Head waterproof rating and fully taped seams, it keeps you dry in typical UK conditions. The fabric is finished with ColourLok Eco™ technology, a solution dyeing process that reduces water use by up to 80% and lowers CO₂ emissions—all while improving UV resistance and long-term colour retention.
