Vango Aether Air 450XL Tent RRP £760

Product Information

In the old days a tents door left open was also it’s window. And the floor was an unattached ground sheet or tarpaulin. How things have changed!

These poled Earth tents give a strong, light and reliable structure due to the Vango PowerFlex Fiberglass poles, which are also pre-angled to achieve greater internal space than would be achieved with standard curved poles. These pre-angled poles give very effective bracing against side winds. The poled Earth tents also boast many of the key features the Air Earth tents do, like the fully sewn-in groundsheet to exclude any draughts, Nightfall Bedrooms so the little ones don't wake up the whole family at first light, TBS II (Tension Band System) to give you peace of mind to go camping in windy weather, Diamond Clear windows to create a light and airy atmosphere, Mesh living room doors to give great ventilation, but keep the nasty biting bugs out and flexible door step and clear access bedrooms, so that even if you have had one too many you won't trip into the bedrooms. The tunnel design offers a conveniently large living space, a bedroom compartment that can be split into two and an integrated canopy space which is ideal for storage. The Aether Sentinel Eco fabric is innovatively constructed by recycling single use plastic which ensures the tent is lightweight whilst also being strong and waterproof in harsher conditions; the perfect getaway whatever the weather. TBSII Tension Band System A three-point band system braces the Vango AirBeam structure to ensure these tents perform in adverse conditions, especially in strong changeable winds. Eco credentials; Easy to pitch and compact dimensions; Decent living space; Good-sized bedrooms More information about the Vango Aether Air 450XL Clear Access Bedrooms- A wider opening and no step over into the bedroom allows for easier access - also stops accidents, as less of a tripping hazard.From here erecting the Aether Air 450XL is the same as any tent. Basically finish pegging down the base using the adjustable system which helps you pitch properly on uneven surfaces. Then peg out the high visibility guylines – there was less tripping over them in poor light, but they don’t glow in the dark – as I found out in the middle of the night! Fully sewn-in groundsheet A bug and draught-free environment is created by this seam, adding to the comfort of all campers.The groundsheet is attached to the flysheet with an external strom skirt to provide all round protection. The Vango Aether poled tent is ideal for small families, couples and even larger families because it is available in two different sizes, the 450XL is one of the most spacious small tents on the market while the 600XL is large enough to help create your home away from home. Both models are brilliant for families who value a larger living area but still want an open extension for cooking. Over the years Vango have designed similar tents but the big difference is that the Aether uses Vango’s new Eco fabric. The Eco fabric is made entirely from single use plastic, so rather than the plastic going to waste it can now be made into tents. Not only is the tent spacious but it is very easy to pitch (as seen from our Attwoolls Outdoors Pitching videos), the whole tent can be pitched by one person within 16 minutes making it perfect for weekend trips as well as those longer stays. Fully Sewn-in Groundsheet - Adds to the comfort of your tent by providing a bug and draught free environment. The groundsheet is attached to the flysheet with an external storm skirt to provide all round protection

The darkened bedroom makes a noticeable difference in the mornings and kept the kids asleep an extra hour or so. Finally, it feels very well made and I am sure it will last many years all while having a lower impact on the environment than other tents.A stress free set up for optimum enjoyment, the aether 450XL features an Airbeam construction and a convenient two-way pump included. Comfort that is home from home the Aether Air has a fully sewn-in groundsheet, and the bedrooms are complete with nightfall lining to ensure you can get a great night’s sleep. Vango AirZone™ - High and low level ventilation panels combine to create a comfortable flow of air through the tent. Air circulation is essential for reducing condensation We had a torrential 24 hours of rain, and some fairly strong winds during this test. During which the kids had begged me to sleep out in the garden on their own… I half expected them to come in wet and cold part way through the night. But not only did they last the entire night but there were no leaks or condensation. Fully Sewn-in Groundsheet- Added to th comfort of your tent by providing a bug and draught free enviroment. The groundsheet is attached to the flysheet with an external storm skirt to provide all round protection.
